17 October 2013 Mam, i think there is some confusion. I am asking about Hire Purchase finance services by an individual.

17 October 2013 Yes i am giving the reply of your query....as you are engaged in hire purchase service (and not letting out house property for residential purpose) so your service is taxable.
