21 November 2013 I think it will be covered under Real Estate Agents.

21 November 2013 Ajay Sir, the assessee buys plots in its own name and then sells it.....he is not acting as a mediator in the sale.

21 November 2013 If it is not his regular business, so he is not liable to pay service tax.

21 November 2013 Ajay Sir, it is his regular business and he keeps plots as stock in trade in his books. The income is shown in the head Business

21 November 2013 Doesn't matter, property is owned by his name. So not liable.
