We have a partnership firm namely B. K. Sahoo & Company engaged in Chartered Accountants services. We want to disolve the Farm and one of the partner wants to continue the firm as proprietorship in the same name. Whether it is mandatory to take registartion from service tax if the total service charges not exceeds the exemption limit i. e. Rs.10.00 Lakhs. Please suggest.
