In respect of services rendered by an insurance agent, service tax is payable by the insurance company. The agent is NOT liable to pay service tax.

That is true but his commission gets reduced by the amount of service tax. Can't he avail the exemption upto the first Rs. 10 lakh of his commission income?

You mean to say that the insurance company is recovering the service tax amount from the agent?
The reduction must be of TDS.

Insurance Services are under reverse charge mechanism.
It is to be noted that no basic exemption limit is allowed under services following under reverse charge mechanism.
Besides it is service receivers duty to pay service tax upto 100% under insurance services.
Hence 1. Your agent cannot avail basic exemption limit
2. You cannot claim refund
