01 April 2016 NO its wrong he has charged Service Tax on full amount of charged amount i.e. RS.61000/-

but as per the Service Tax Provision if the service portion is known then the ST will be charged only on 24400/-

or if the same is not known then also the same is not charged on the full amount instead the same is payable on the basis of composition scheme i.e. 40%/70%/30% as the case may be (which is not there in your case)

Material 36600/-
Labour 24400/-

CST 732/-
ST 3538/-

TOTAL 65270/-
