CURRENT SCENARIO
Services sector in future providing about 70 per cent of the new job opportunities in the economy Share of agriculture in total employment already falling, in the coming years, the share of services would increase New employment possibilities in the services sector are construction, trade, transport, storage, financial services, communication and personal services Employment in manufacturing would also expand, but its contribution to the total increase in employment would only be around 17 per cent. Thus, given the employment trends as emerging from diverse sources and the employment potentials at the sectoral levels, it may be argued that a broadbased high growth of GDP would lead to higher employment in the economy, with services sector playing a lead role.

The service sector's share finally rose from 43.69 per cent in 1990-91 to 51.16 per cent in 1998-99.

Global Comparison
IMPACT OF SERVICES SECTOR
Looking at the magnitude of services growth and its inter-linkages with other sectors of the economy, it is important to understand the impact of services sector on other macroeconomic variables. The following issues have been studied: Whether the robust growth of the services sector has added a dimension Stability to India's GDP growth. (ii) Whether there has been a growing complementarily between services and industrial sectors of the economy. (iii) Whether the services sector also experienced 'jobless' growth like other commodity-producing sectors. (iv) Whether high growth of services sector had any inflationary impact on the economy. (v) Whether the imposition of services tax has boosted the Governments effort at mobilizing more resources (i)
SECTORAL GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN ECONOMY

Before understanding this first point let us see, the sectorial growth performance of Indian Economy. There have been considerable increases in the service sector during last two decades, and looking in the trend of last two decade the GDP have increased to INR 48.79 trillion (8%)
Major Service Sector Growth
Services and inflation
} On
the contrary, an examination of the NAS (National accounts statistics) and price data indicates that the contemporary growth process is characterized by the co-existence of high services growth with low and stable inflation ,thanks to the credible monetary policy, which has kept the inflationary expectations at bay.

Employment Oppotunities
Service Sector is a large and most dynamic part of the Indian economy both in terms of employment potential and contribution to national income. In recent years, much of the rise in the service sector is because of lack of employment opportunities in other sectors of the economy. There has also been creation of a handful of high-income jobs in the sectors like financing, insurance, real estate and business services that has been growth driven leading to accentuation of inequalities. A well functioning service sector provides important opportunities to strengthen employment and productivity.
Services Tax
SERVICE TAX-A SOURCE OF REVENUE

number of services being taxed in India has increased progressively from 3 in 1994-95 to about 92 in 2006-07 . } The services tax was imposed at the rate of 5 percent, this has now been increased to 12 per cent. } There has also been a substantial growth in assesses base, which increased from 3,493 in 1994-95 to 7, 74,988 in 2004-05. } The collection of the services tax revenue has witnessed a substantial expansion since 1994-95, rising from Rs. 407 crore in 1994-95 to Rs. 23,000 crore in 2005-06.
} The
Services tax revenue as a percentage of total tax revenue

has also increased substantially from 0.4 per cent in 1994-95 to 6.2 per cent in 2005-06 and is expected to reach 7.8 per cent in 2006-07 . The growth in services tax collection has equally been impressive. Growth in services tax revenue has been facilitated both by increase in rate of taxation as well as increased number of services being taxed. In more recent years, after recording a higher growth of 91.4 per cent in 2003-04, the growth in services tax collection has come down to 62 per cent in 200506,which is also by and large, impressive.
SERVICE SECTOR-COMPONENT OF INDIRECT TAXES

Further, services tax is emerging as an important component of indirect taxes. The share of services tax in indirect taxes has increased more than twenty-folds from a mere 0.6 per cent in 1994-95 to 13 per cent in 2005-06 . On the contrary, following the rationalization of duty structure, the share of indirect taxes has decreased over the years. Thus, it appears that falling share of custom duty has been amassed by the services Almost 60 per cent of the GDP is contributed by the services sector alone. The growth in absolute quantum of GDP and higher proportion of services sector therein holds promise for a larger revenue generation.
Effect of U.S. Recession
EFFECTS OF U.S. RECESSION ON INDIAN SERVICE SECTOR

}
Not much effect as Indian Service Sectors boom attributed to the hike in internal consumption and the per capita income of Indian lot. Certain sectors led by IT/ITES which make substantial amount of export to US are incurring losses. However, impact of US led recession which clicked from the sub prime crisis would be partial and somewhat of short span on our economy. Services like tourism, health care education, engineering, communication, transportation, finance, IT, banking will continue it boom.
