Service Tax is applicable to Nidhi companies on Service Charges, Documentation Charges, Processing Fees etc. collected from customers. Companies are also liable to pay Service Tax under reverse charges mechanism i.e Service tax on receipt of services like Legal Services, Works Contract Services, Security services, Manpower supply services etc received from a business entity other than a Body Corporate..
