Service Tax Shall Be Paid on Rs. 50/- Only...
Service Tax shall be applicable only when your turnover goes above Rs. 10 lakhs.

service tax will not be payable on security deposit so serv. tax will be leviable only on Rs.50/-.
But service tax shall be liable to pay only when gross turnover is more than 10 Lac.
REfundable deposits are not liable to service tax. Tax is onthe element of rent . You have basic exemption of Rs.10L
Service tax is applicable on the amount of rent only...
