My question is

Dear CA.Kanhaiyalal Gupta,

Definition of service u/s 65B (44) means any activity carried out by a person for another consideration and exclude transfer of title of goods or immovable property, deemed sales, service by employer etc. Under new regime tax-ability shifted from positive list to negative list and certain services categorized as declared services. Towing is service. No service specific registration is required in view of recent changes of Budget 2012.
