Queries related service tax registration

I am working from home for a US based company as a contractor. My role is Software Test Engineer which includes testing of softwares, some client interaction and tasks related to software quality assurance. I need to register for service tax and I have some questions regarding the registration process.


1. What should be the category I should ideally select as a service provider?

I came across 3 categories which ‘Technical Testing & Analysis’, ‘Consulting Engineer Services’ and ‘Information Technology Services’ which I think I might be applicable to.


2. In the list of documents to be submitted there is a mention of ‘Constitution of Applicant at the time of filing the application for service tax' required. What does this mean? I am an individual with no registered company or partners. I know my constitution should be ‘Proprietorship’ but not sure what is the document supporting my constitution need to be submitted.

Thanks
