Free service is not chargeable to service tax as no amount is received against the service. It must be ensured that if the invoice is raised, it should be specified that the same is FOC
For a service to be taxed under the service tax, there are many criterias. The basic ones are:
The service has to be a taxable service as defined under the section 65 (105) and only on receipt of valid consideration the service tax ought to be discharged.
Under the free service the consideration is absent. Hence it is not taxable.
