ii. Taxpayers with Service Tax payment between Rs.1 crore and Rs.3 crores (Cash + CENVAT) – to be audited once every two years.
iii. Taxpayers with Service Tax payment between Rs.25 lakhs and Rs.1 crore (Cash + CENVAT) – to be audited once every five years.
iv. Taxpayers with Service Tax payment upto Rs.25 lakhs (Cash + CENVAT) – 2% of taxpayers to be audited every year.

The audit will be conducted by the service tax department...No need for self audit done, no due dates.... But you need to maintain propoer records of invoices and cenvat credit , which will be helpful as and when the audit is taken up by the deptt...
