Good inf    sir

thanks

Is there any other notification regarding the rate cut in case composition schemes?

is there any notification for the rate cut and from when it will be applicable

This notification will be applicable from the date it passed... so in this case the applicable date is 24/02/09

Rates under composition scheme remains unchanged. However, where abatement of value is there, benefit of new rates will be available.
is the excise and service tax rate reduction applicable for all the services or it is applicable for some specific products only.

Redarding Central excise duty, the rate is reduced from 10% to 8%. It is applicable only to those goods which were attarcting 10% duty earlier. Where the goods were attracting different rate, i.e. 8% or 4% earlier, the rate remains unchanged.

Service tax exemption is available to all services.

This Notification is very satisfactfull because this deduction is apply for any one service.
