are these services taxable upto 30th april 2011?
Sale of material related to preschool is exempted from service tax.Please clarify.
What does “certificate program recognised by any law for the time being in force” Mean, what are examples of such certificate programs? what is the process of getting recognized by law
is this exemption applicable for coaching imparted to professionals like chartered accountants or CWAs. Thanx
Is it so that any coaching or training leading to grant of a certificate or diploma or degree or any educational qualification which is recognised by any law for the time being in force like CA, CS, ICWA or MBA etc. Even this coaching also lead to grant of degree subject to passing of the examination!!!!!!!!!!!
