In your case, although the services are executed at site but can be said as provided from the place where your office is situated. Since you have only one office, there is no issue and you are eligible for single registration. Further whatever amount is being deducted on your behalf either to deposit with the revenue department or to keep as security, by the contractee shall be deemed as received by you you would be liable to pay service tax accordinglu.
