And also confirm that when we take service tax registration after income exceeding 10 lacs whether previous amount attract service tax i.e. RS.1 to 10,00,000/- or not? or service tax payable only excess of Rs.10 lacs billing.

Sir, Present Service tax rules are as follows: If your turnover exceeds Rs. 10 lacs in previous year then you need to pay s.tax on the turnover above Rs. 10 lacs. On crossing Rs. 9000000 you need to obtain serv tax. So in your case s.tax will not be attracted on Rs. 10 lacs but will be attracted after that. I hope it will suffies you.
