A MEDICAL DOCTOR IN PRACTICE EARNING ABOUT RS.50 LAKH P.A. IS APPOINTED AS CONSULTANT BY A MNC ON ITS ADVISORY PANEL ON PROFESSIONAL FEE OF RS. ONE LAKH PER MONTH. WE ARE SURE OF NON TAXABILITY OF PRACITCE INCOME BUT HAVE DOUBT ABOUT TAXABILITY OF SERVICE TAX ON INCOME BEING RECEIVED FROM MNC AS CONSULTANT IN ADVISORY BOARD OF COMPANY. WILL SUCH ADVISORY SERVICES COVERED UNDER MEGA NOTIFICATION AS AN AUTHORISED MEDICAL PRACTIONER PROVIDING HEALTH CARE SERVICES?

As you are not on the payrolls of the MNC and are providing services as an Independent Consultant - you would be liable to pay Service Tax.
