[1] Service tax is above 10 lakhs.you need not bother about it

[2] Your major source of income is from salary

[3] Income from performing puja comes under Income from Biz and profession

[4] since u r an accountant also You should prepare a small BS and P &L

[5] If you take income from puja as income from other sources then you can deduct puja material and petrol and other expenses from receipts and purely file ITR1.

[6] TDs may not have been deducted from ur salary.

i am not from accounts - other experts plz help him also.

Rs.1,20,000/- can be shown under the head. Income from profession. In a marginal relief to the individual taxpayers, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday increased the income tax exemption limit from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh for citizens up to 60 years. For senior citizens the limit was hiked to Rs 3 lakh.

1.180000 will be shown under the Head Salary 2. You are doing Pooja Related Services , so that concerned reciepts will be shown under the Head Of PGBP basically income from Profession. 3. You dont need to get registered under service tax as the threshold limit for registaration is Rs 900000.

1. Income earned by performing puja will come under the head Profits or gains from business or profession because it's a profession. i.e.,1,20,000. 2. No it is not taxable. 3. You are not required to get service tax registration because it is necessary to those persons whose value of taxable service provided exceeds Rs. 9 lacs. Regard SONU JHA
