It is export of service and accordingly service tax is NOT applicable.

But, since the Indian co. is providing outsourcing service to a USA based co., doesn't it fall in the ambit of service tax and isn't it an export of service?

Since the service is provided in India, Service tax provision will apply

Krishnan Sir,
I have been reading the PPS,2012 rules lately. As per PPS rules, referring Rule 3, I think this rule applies here and the service will be termed as exported service and will not be liable to service tax.
What is your opinion?
Please tell me on basis of which provisions it comes under service tax ambit according to you.

Sir I am doubtful about the pt. no. (d).
Since the calls received are from USA the service received is also in USA only I think.
And a service can only be provided(delivered) at the place where it can be received(place of recipient)
Please correct me wherever I am wrong.

As per the act place of service is the place of service recipient. so it your case POS rules also satisfied. hence eligible for exemption.

Good morning Sir
One doubt persists in my mind regarding pt d of 6A Rules regarding convertible foreign exchange.
In my case, the assessee was facing difficulty in routing the money receivable to India from USA to stringent norms of RBI. So, they decided to take services of an intermediary in USA that charges some brokerage and converts the dollars into Rs. and remits the balance proceeds to India in assessee's bank A/c.
Does the condition satiSfy or not?
Please reply sir.

My view,very basic conditions for exemption is to received the money against service is foreign exchange, since you are receiving the same in INR in to India, your exemption eligibility is not available

The condition of receving the consideration in convertible foreign exchange has been quashed in the case of:
Nipuna Services Ltd V CCE (A II) Hyderabad (2009) CESTAT Bangalore.
In an exact similar case to the one mentioned by you the court upheld that the condition of receving the consideration in foreign exchange cannot overrule the concept of exports and hence exemptions cannot be denied even if the cosideration is received in INR by an agent after deducting his commissoin.
