14 April 2013 1. F.Y. 2009-10 - exemption of 10 lacs will be available, whether you are registered or not. Though you have to file the return of nil tax payable quarterly/monthly as the case may be, once you get registered.
2. F.Y. 2010-11 - Your 2nd point is correct, if in 2009-10 aggregate value of services do not cross 10 lacs, then in the year 2010-11 upto 10 lacs there will be no tax but will be after that.
3. F.Y. 2011-12, if in 10-11 you crossed the limit of 10 lacs, then no exemption this year, you have to pay the tax from Rs. 1/-
