Mr A is running a Travel Agency. He books Railway Tickets online & makes payment through his Saving A/c. He collects cash (mostly) & cheques (in few cases) from clients & deposits in his saving account. He maintains no accounts / issues no invoices etc. Consider the value of tickets booked during year is more than Rs 10 Lacs. My question is :-
1. Whether he needs to get registered under Service Tax?
2. If yes, then in which category (accounting head)?
3. If Service Tax to be paid, on which value of ticket booked & at what rates?
Kindly share your views.

My question is that in my case registered office transfer from one state to another state. what is the procedure for this.

We had paid service tax on accrual basis , but in actual service is not provided. Fact of the case is our company deposited service tax as per POT rules on issue of invoice, but service is not provided in actual and consequently no consideration is received. My query is how can I adjust Tax paid to department. Whether any reversal is allowed or not.
