Thanks Mr. Sharma for your valuable reply. However in notification no 1/2006 it is mentioned that the abatement option will not be available in case if service provider avails the benefit of CENVAT credit. But it is not mentioned that the service provider can not provide the services at two rates. Pls let us know the circular / notification under which it is mentioned the service provider can not provide two rate of services. |

utilization of abatement means u have utilized the facility to pay at reduced rates, and it can be exercised once in financial year, once the person pays at full rate of tax- he can not avail exemption for rest of the year, as the status of the person is "tax payer at full rate" for the financial year.
choice is in hands of tax payer to avail the exemption or not upto the 1st incident of invoice for the year.
