A single person can open how many proprietorship firm in his own capacity, by his own Pan No. ? Is there is any restriction, For example he open a firm for tading by getting registration under Vat and other firm he is open for providing service through get registration under Service Tax. Please clear my doubt. thanks,

There is no restriction as such. A person can start & run multiple businessess under same PAN Number as his proprietorship firms. However, for tax purposes, there shall be only one IT Return and One Tax Audit Report if Sec.44AB applies. I hope your doubts are cleared.

As you told us that housing society maintainence are exeed of Rs. 5000 that only 

it is liable for service tax, but what is the percentage ? how much percentage ?

For audit purpose turnover must be over 1 crore (Sec 44AB), but one person run multiple firm under one singal pan no. Suppose all the firms individual turn over is less than 1 crore, but if going to calculate the total turnover of all the firms it is over 1 crore, So my question is whether Audit under section 44 AB applicable here? please clear my queires

Audit under section 44AB is applicable due to the turnover of assesse exceeds 1 crore irrespective of no. of business.
