As per mega notification no. 25/2012 DTD. 20.06.2012 exempted. but in case of commission income received Rs. 12.00 lacs and TDS is deducted u/s 194H. Whether commission income will be liable for ST in business auxiliary service. PLEASE

Mam Distributor is not providing any services and engaged in trading activity and exempted wholly from ST liability under mega notification. If commission income recd only is criteria then in all other cases like broker or an authorised person to a stock broker; authorised person to a member of a commodity exchange; mutual fund agent to a mutual fund or asset management company; distributor to a mutual fund or asset management company; all having commission income they also liable for ST. tHEN MEGA exemption not applicable in these case. please go through and check the exact position of legislature.

Vidyajainji Please go sr. no.29(f)of mega notification where "selling agent or a distributer of SIM cards or recharge coupon vouchers" specifically mentioned. therefore fully exempt from ST in my view.
