Through Notification No. 53/2010 Service Tax CBEC has provided conditional exemption from service tax to the right to use packaged/canned software. Prior December 21, 2010 Notification No. 2/2010 and 17/2010 was present for similar kind of exemption. The conditions for availing exemption from Service tax is as below:

(a) In respect of software manufactured in India - The manufacturer, duplicator, or the person holding the copyright to software has paid the appropriate duties of excise on the entire amount received from the buyer (b) In case of software Imported into India - The importer has paid the appropriate duties of customs on the entire amount paid by him.

Query:- In case the manufacturere covered under SSI and not making actual payment of Excise duty would get benefit of exemtion in service tax. (Mind the word used is appropriate duty of excise has been paid)

If university also provided its employees for umpiring and charges their fees along with ground rent of land, whether service tax would be liable on umpire service to the university in this case.
