Plz help me as early as possible...

i have checked the recent RTP, their's no practical question of service tax
Dear shashank, this amendmend in rate was w.e.f 24.02.2009. It is applicable for the exams though it has not found mention in the RTP.
I sent a mail to ICAI and they have not got back to me on this matter. You also write to guidance @ icai.org, and bos @ icai.org

firstly we should check whether any dates are mentioned in the question.
if it relates to a date before the ammendment, we should apply 12.36%
and if it is after 24 feb2009, its 10.3%.
as per the RTP of IPCC the rate is 10.3%.(Check question no 23)
Ammenments come into force after taking into consideration the dates and not attempts.
it is an ammendment in the P.Y 2008-9 on which we will b equestioned generally for this NOV attempt
