so my doubts is he must be pay on tax above the limit only i.e. Rs. 7/- lakhs or whole Rs. 17/-

Dear Sir, For Claiming benefit of Notification no. 33/2012 your turnover for the preceding year should not exceed Rs. 10 lakhs, as you have mentioned that he is claiming exemption since last three years therefore he can claim benefit of Notification no. 33/2012 for the year 2015-16 and service tax need to be paid only on Rs. 7 Lakhs. it should be noted that for the year 2016-17 he would not be entitled for any exemption and service tax will be applicable irrespective of your turnover.
