20 March 2014 As per clause (b) of section 66D, the services provided by RBI are specified as nontaxable services.

The services provided to RBI are not
specified in negative list.
Therefore, service provided to RBI will be taxable service.
As per notification no. 30/2012 ST,dated 20/june/2012 service recipient is also liable to payment of service tax for the services specified therein.
RBI receiving specified services will be liable to pay service tax.

.
Note that RBI is not Business entity registered as body corporate,, it is a statutory body set up by special act..
.
.
in this case under what category you will impose service tax on rbi under reversecharge
.
.
probably there is no serve which comes taxable in hands of rbi as serice receiver
.
