22 March 2013 But he collected service tax on Rs.14 lacs so i suggested has to pay service tax Rs 14 lacs. Because of according to my knowledge i noticed if any short or not collected service tax then assumption will make service tax also collected in the fees charges(service tax included in fees) if any excess service tax collected than required then entire collected service tax has to be pay to the Government. So actually you required to collect service tax on Rs.13 lacs and need not to collect on Rs.1 lac but he collected i.e he excess collected service tax thus he has to pay service tax on Rs.1 lacs also to the government.

If i am wrong please correct.
