	The service tax rates has been changed from effective date of 24th Feb 2009.
	If the question in the exams quote as the period of services rendered is before 24th Feb 2009 then you should apply the rate of 12%(plus cess). If no period is quoted then apply 10%(plus cess). However the chances are that the period of rendering os services will always be 2009-10 financial year ,so rates win that case would be 10%(plus cess).
