14 April 2015 as per mega exemption notification no. 25/2012
6. Services provided by
(b) an individual as an advocate or a partnership firm of advocates by way of legal
services to,-
(i) an advocate or partnership firm of advocates providing legal services ;
(ii) any person other than a business entity; or
(iii) a business entity with a turnover up to rupees ten lakh in the preceding financial year; or
(c) a person represented on an arbitral tribunal to an arbitral tribunal;
is exempt from levy of service tax.

Hence the same is not liable for service tax under reverse charge method also. Further the purpose of this exemption was to save small business people from the hassels of service tax like taking registration paying taxes and filing return.

Further practically Rs. 10 lakhs is a very small limit kept and there shall be very nominal loss of revenue to the government.
