The sector of service is without any doubt the most significant field in the country because of accounting 57 percent to India’s GDP. Till June of 2012 Service ad its very own meaning and legal challenges added to it. Although the definition has now narrowed down to a totally distinct procedure to meet the ends. Goods and Services Tax has been added to every sort of service unless it is exempted by the regulations assigning the same. To do the same the government broadens well as narrowed the definition of “Service” underneath the Taxation system of GST.

Now the following things are counted under the Services rendered and are taxed under GST –

  1. Service of transacting money but not including the security and money within it.
  2. Services transacting money by including money as well as the use of it through conversion or by any other mode. By one from to another currency or denomination to another one. (different consideration being charged)
  3. Service Provision through the way of labor
