27 April 2009 Whether one will get basic exemption limit in respect of every particular service it provides
or
If a Co is registered once under service tax for a particular service, then he is liable for every new service that it provides irrespective of the amt that it collects in respect of new service i.e. even if it collects Rs100/- for new service.

Mine particular problem
A transport Co providing taxable transport service in excess of RS 7Lac and registered under Transport of goods by road. If the same co. receives Rs 500 or so towards Rent or CNF, then whether it is required to get registered for the other two services also or it will get some initial exemption limit in respect of the two new services.

Pls Advice
