Dear Mr. D.V.Gupta,

There is no such requirement prescribed in the relevant notification whereby the assessee has to give any kind of intimation or declaration to the department for availing the said small scale exemption ( to my understanding  also it is automatic ). However , you can intimate your intentions by submitting a simlpe letter to the department.

Please remember that this exemption will not be available in case you have paid service tax during the current F.Y. even ones.

Thanks,
