25 July 2025 For the **CA Final November 2009 Exam (Old Course)**, the **Service Tax syllabus** covered the law as applicable up to **30th April 2009**, based on the **Finance Act, 1994** and the latest **amendments till Finance Act, 2009**.

The ICAI did **not require** students to memorize the **entire list of taxable services** (which were more than 100 at that time), but you were expected to know:

* **Definitions and scope** of the **major taxable services**,
* **Valuation**, **registration**, **returns**, and **payment** provisions,
* **CENVAT Credit Rules**, as they relate to service tax.
