Yes of course. At crossing 7 Lakh you have to apply for Service tax number and at crossing 8 Lakh you have to fullfill all formality of Service Tax. Act apply ony if you are falling under category of Fashion Designer. Other wise Service tax not applicable to you
Under Fashion Designer services head, income from stitching is specifically excluded for service tax purposes.In the shop of suiting, shirting -only if you provide customized tailoring services i.e.Designing apparels as per customers requirements than only the desigining fee received by you is taxnder Service Tax. Mere stitching is not taxable at all.
