This query is for specific clarification to know whether Service Tax is applicable to one time collections from members of Cooperative Housing Society for major renovation and painting fund of Rs 150000 per member besides Monthly Maintenance Charges which are below Rs 5000.
In case Service Tax is applicable on such One Time Collection then whether Monthly Maintenance Charges which are below Rs 5000 are also liable for Service Tax as the limit is being exceeded ?

when ever the society is acting as PURE agent, then service tax is NOT applicable. In the instant case of painting fund, prima facie it appears to be a PURE agent. You need to take the call as per your situation of the facts of your society....
