Sir please tell if a company is getting service tax input credit on rent paid for its office, is it compulsory to file service tax return to avail such credit in future?

Suppose Mr A is a providing a service which is not covered under the negative list. FY 2012-13 is his first year during which he starts providing the service. Now suppose his receipt during FY 2012-13 is Rs. 15,00,000.

i.) Was he liable to get registered under service tax and pay service tax during the FY 2012-13 or will he have to get the registration during FY 2013-14.

2.)Now, during FY 2013-14 his receipts are only Rs. 5,00,000. Whether he will be eligible for exemption from paying service tax as he is a small service provider during FY 2013-14?
