Hello Friends,

Please clarify me on below points w.r.t Export realization in case of export of service.

- As per Rule 6A of Service Tax Rules 1994, service shall be treated as export of service, if payment for such service is received in convertible foreign currency. I want to know whether there is any time limit prescribed for realization??. If yes, then please let me know the circular no.

- If there is any such time limit, what if, realization is received after prescribed time limit. whether in such case, service tax will be payable on export of service.

Please post your answer.
