Service Tax - Krishi Kalyan Cess - On All Taxable Services - Code Allotted

THE CBEC clarifies that Krishi Kalyan Cess is leviable on all taxable services, other than services which are fully exempt from Service Tax or services which are otherwise not liable to Service Tax under section 66B of the Finance Act, 1994, at the rate of 0.5%.

But, can the Board decide that the KKC is leviable on "all" taxable services excepting the exceptions OR should an exemption notification be issued?
