Is service tax applicable on hospitals.

I think its apllicable only for the payment received from a business entity for its employees and payment received from the health insurance company.

If I am a Service provider and I am registered in Service tax.
Whether It is mandatory to get registered in Central Excise act to take credit of Exice.

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.

Ex: M/s.ABC Ltd has a turnover for Rs. 20 Lakhs from its activities during F.Y.2009-10 & not regd upto Rs. 10 Lakhs.Then only it regd & collect the Service Tax.Is it require to pay the Service Tax on the whole turnover? or the amount exceeding Rs. 10 Lakhs?
Pl clarify the above doubt.
