Service tax liability for sole proprietorship handling expor

Hello, I'm an individual software consultant rendering software export services to clients across the globe. Almost 100% of my services are export oriented.

My turnover exceeds 10 lakhs but is entirely foreign-based income apart from about 1lakh of interest income generated by some fixed deposits.

  1. Do I have to take a service tax registration? 
  2. Also is a proprietorship registration with the government mandatory for all proprietorships?
  3. Is having a current account a must?

Please help me out, thanks.
