At the option of the supplier, value of supply

= 1% of the gross amount of currency exchanged up to 1 lakh (or) min: INR 250

= INR 1000 + 0.5% of the gross amount currency exchanged 1 to 10 lakh.

Illustration:

Corporate services firm A is engaged to handle the legal work pertaining to the incorporation of Company B.

Other than its service fees, A also recovers from B, registration fee and approval fee for the name of the company paid to the Registrar of Companies.

The fees charged by the Registrar of Companies for the registration and approval of the name are compulsorily levied on B.
