SEZ units are Exempted from Payment of Service Tax against the services consumed in SEZ. If you are taking general insurance policy for your SEZ unit , it will be exempted. Provide a copy of Service Tax exemption letter you have received from DC to the service provider.
you can refer sec. 31 of SEZ Rules , 2006 for this concern. ( you can visit our website www.sez-india.net and download the copy of sez rules. )
