One of my client is a transport operator. In P.Y.2007-08 his turnover was below 7 lacs so he was not liable to get registered before Service tax authority. In financial year 2008-09 his turnover is 8.92 lacs. As per notification the service tax thresolhold limit increases from 7 lacs to 9 lacs o.k. It is written that new limit will be applicable from 1-04-2008. so I am confused whether to advise him to go for registration or not because limit has been increased from 2009-10 but its applicability has started w.e.f.1-4-2008.

Please advise.
