Dear Vinay wakde,

Pls. find below my opinion regarding your query -- No. 1 & 2

No, you are not required to amend your existing registration. Now the negative list has been effective and accordingly classification of services is not there. The form for service tax registration i.e. has also been amended and in service classification column of ST-1, the only one entry is shown for all the services as follows: “Service other than in the Negative List” So the above description of service will common for all assessees and there is no requirement of amend the service tax registration.

Sanjay Sharma
