please answer me

in the year 2011-12, the rate of service tax was 10.3%. For builders abatement was 75%. hence the applicable rate comes 2.575% i.e, 25% of 10.3%. Can we round of the rate to two decimal points ? that means is it correct to take the rate of service tax 2.57% for previous year?

No it should not be rounded off. But, however, you have not filed the ST3 for year 2011-2012. ? Had you done so, this question is irrelevant now.

Thanks,
