Dear Experts Looking forward for your response on the above
Two conditions are required to be fulfilled. 1. Taxable Turnover does not exceed Rs. 10.00 Lakh during the previous year. Please note that it is TAXABLE TURNOVER and not total turnover. 2. If the condition 1 is met, TAXABLE TURNOVER of Rs. 10.00 Lakh is exempt.
The exemption is available for any number of years if both the conditions are met.
I presume, the above answer addresses your query no. 2.
