Request you to clarify the following pioints:
What is the current position? Should we pay the service tax along with the arrears?
Should we make a provision of service tax payable for the F/y 2009-10.Is it a contingent liability?
If we make the payment now accounting treatment for both the Finanacial years 2009-10 & 2010-11. and also in case if we take it as a contngent liability last year?
