Even a banking company,a financial institution including a non-banking financial company & body corporates are also commercial concerns. If law intents to tax all the commercial concerns and any other person (earlier), then what is the intention of the law behind listing all these banking company,a financial institution including a non-banking financial company & body corporates etc in the relevant sections?

A co-operative credit society does not belong to any of the entity specified in sec.65(105)(zm)or Rule 2(1)(d)and the service provide by it cannot be classified as "banking and Financial services" as per sec.65(12). It will not come under service tax net. Once the society becomes licensed by RBI the situation changes.Refer decision of Commissioner(Appeals) Pune in the case of jankalyan nagari credit society for details.
