service tax registration is only applied once your turnover crosses 9lacs
Basic Exemption Limit for Service Tax Registration is Rs. 10 Lakh. Registration becomes compulsory exceeding the turnover of Rs. 9 Lakh.
If there is a delay in registration, penalty of Rs. 200 per day of delay, restricted to Rs 10000 can be imposed
