Dear Members,
 
One of my client is a real estate agent. He pays money to land owner as a consideration of "Hakk sod patra" i.e. consideration for relinquishment of right in land. He receives same amount of money from his principle for the same.
 
Whether service tax is attracted in above scenario?
