ours is an autonomous body of moef, we are receiving funds from our ministry and also from other ministry and foreign organisations as grant in aid for various research projects. the out put of the projects are to be implemented to form government policy.Service tax authorities have asked to deposit service tax on it saying it is management consultancy, because it helps the organisation to run their management directly or indirectly. I wonder if government is giving some grant to run research programmes ( for implementing their manifasto) , how it can be a consultancy . All the readers are requested to give their valuable suggestions.
