03 June 2011 Your question is not clear as to category charges.
The normal rate of ST is 10% + cess of 3% on the 10%.

Accomodation has a 50% abatement and Restaurants have a 70% abatement porovided no credits are claimed.

03 June 2011 Sir,

my question is Under which category it should be charge as hotels are giving the same category (Mandop Keeper),

Kindly suggest how can we take the 50% credit in our books without amendment in st-2, as they have not provided us the updated ST-2 form.

03 June 2011 You have to intimate to service tax department declaring as "short term accommodation service" and get it incorporated in your registration certificate (ST-2). It is the new taxable service effective from 2011 and will not classify under category mandap keeper.
