When we realised this mistake we reversed the same in first day of next month from our input cenvat credit.

I run a start up that provides remedial programs for in school and out of school children. I am planning to apply for some donor funding to do this program for a few kids. When I apply for this funding, I would be stating the unit cost per child. The total value of this proposal would be ~ Rs. 14-15 lakh.

My question is do i need to collect service tax since my revenues would exceed Rs. 10 lakh. Also, does what I do feature in the negative list?

One of my clients has taken service tax registration no., even though his turnover of taxable services is below thresh hold limit (i.e. below Rs.9 lacs)
Accordingly he is not charging service tax.

Now my question is, is it compulsory for him to file service tax return ?

I got a letter from Service Tax dept regarding filling of ST-3. I have already file the returns. I just want to know How to draft the reply letter to them.
