Yes, w.e.f. 01.07.2012 there is only one A/c. head for all taxable services is "Other than in the negative list" and department will issue ST-2 with only one accounting code therefore, ST has to be paid for all category of service in one account head.

My query is whether all the catagory of services on which we shall be paying service tax on reverse charge method w.e.f. 01.07.2012 is required to be added in existing service tax registration certificate? or otherwise.

No, you need not to amend ST-2 category wise, even there is no provision to amend ST-2 category wise,  But, you have to amend the ST-2.  When you apply for amendment of ST-2 in ACES, there is only one category will be display in this site that is "Other than in the negative list" , So,  now from 01.07.2012 there is only one A/c. head for all the taxable services, simply you have to select this head and amend the same.

Thanks

I am not clear on "Manpower Supply" service as to whether (1)  tax is payable on wages part also (2) Cenvat can be availed on reverse-charge basis (if provider pays 25% tax and recipient 75%, is Cenvat allowed to recipient on 100% tax ? If not what is the logic ?)

Cenvat credit on manpower supply is eligible on both portions, ie, 25% paid by service provider & 75% paid by service reciever, subject to the eligibility parameters of Cenvat Credit Rules

From 01.07.2012 onwards department has made one accounting head. All taxable services shall be covered in it i.e "Other than in the negative list". Payment of service tax shall be made under one accounting head only. For fresh registration department shall issue ST-2 for the same accounting head mentioning the category of services  "Other than in the negative list"
