- he is liable to pay tax on excess of 10L in the year 2009-10, 

- he can opt for exemption of 10 L in 2010-11 without input credit or pay tax from zero with input credit.

- input credit would go zero if u opt for exemption, submit an option letter to R/O for availing exemption before issue of any invoice. 

For 10-11 he is liable to tax. But for 11-12 he is eligible for basic the exemption.

For 10-11 he is liable to tax. But for 11-12 he is eligible for basic the exemption.

it is prudent to register when turnover goes to 9 lac and it is not mandatoey to charge service tax on registration you can opt exemption in f.y. 2009-10 further if you have charge service tax then you have to deposit it whether your turnover is less than 10 lac or more than 10 lac.

so if you charge service tax in f.y. 2010-11 you have to deposit it otherwise you take exemption of limit 

In 2011-12 its upto you if you don't charge and turnover not exceed 10 lac you can again get exemption of limit but in case the turnover exceeds 10 lac in any month of f.y. 11-12 you will become defaulter for not charging service tax on previous months bills. so it is advisable to charge service tax even if you have turnover less than in f.y. 2010-11. As it was always asume that business will grow not decline
