CIRCULAR NO. 141/10/2011-TRU, DATED 13-5-2011 – Circular No.111/05/2009-ST was issued on 24th February, 2009 on the applicability of the provisions of the Export of Services Rules, 2005 in certain situations. It had clarified on the expression “used outside India” in Rule 3(2)(a) of the Export of Services Rules, 2005 as prevalent at that time. The condition specified in Rule 3(2)(a) has since been omitted vide Notification 06/2010-ST, dated 27-2-2010.
