27 February 2009 The agency is getting commission. The commission gets covered under Business auxiliary services. However you need to evaluate whether the gross income for a financial year exceeds Rs. 10 Lacs, if yes then service tax is laible to be charged by the Agency to the bank.

The agency has to charge the bank for the services, provided the above condition of 10 lacs is applicable, if not then no need to charge service tax as he stands covered under Small Service Provider (SSP).
