I am software development service provider from Pune, Maharashrta. I have a customer in USA to whom
i provide software development services. Initially he used to send me payment in USD but recently he
started paying me in INR. I guess he is still paying in USD but the broker they are using is sending me INR amount through NEFT.

In this case, do I need to charge him service tax? Or is it exempted?

Thanks in advance.

Party X rejects 20 pcs and pass the bill in their books as follows-
