 COMPANY 'X' IS PROVIDING AYURVEDIC THERAPY TO THE PATIENTS.

'Y' IS PROVIDING THE SAME SERVICE USING THE BRAND NAME OF 'X' UNDER A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH 'X'.

WHETHER AYURVEDIC THERAPY SERVICE IS LIABLE TO SERVICE TAX? 

IF YES, WHETHER 10 LAKHS LIMIT IS NOT APPLICABLE IN THIS CASE?

REGARDS TO ALL
