05 September 2012 The auxiliary services provided to an educational institute are exemption from the levy of service tax as per notification 25/2012-st.

“auxiliary educational services” means any services relating to imparting any skill, knowledge, education or development of course content or any other knowledge – enhancement activity, whether for the students or the faculty, or any other services which educational institutions ordinarily carry out themselves but may obtain as outsourced services from any other person, including services relating to admission to such institution, conduct of examination, catering for the students under any mid-day meals scheme sponsored by Government, or transportation of students, faculty or staff of such institution; as per notification 25/2012

Now, attention is drawn to the following portion of above definition of auxiliary services :-
or any other services which educational institutions ordinarily carry out themselves but may obtain as outsourced services from any other person, including"

In my opinion security service is covered under the above definition and therefore, exempted. If department does not agree than the service tax should be paid under protest.

For further clarification please mail the query at sureshjain.nj@gmail.com chargeable Rs. 100 to 500 donation to the "KADAM" institute engaged in education to children of construction labours.
