15 July 2013 Every person providing a taxable service of value exceeding Rs. 9 lakhs, is required to register with the central excise or service tax office having jurisdiction over the office of such service provider.
In case a recipient is liable to pay service tax, registration is required by him.
There is also provision for centralised registration
The ‘Input Service Distributors’ also require registering themselves.

You can log onto the www.aces.gov.in through internet and click on ?Click here to Register with ACES? link and go through a process called ?ACES user Registration?, by selecting a user name and furnishing credentials like e-mail id, Unit Name, Designation and Phone Number. The system will then generate a password and send it by e-mail.
