05 May 2011 Private coaching for CA exam is not eligible this exemption. Coaching class conducted by ICAI qualifies for this exemption.

09 May 2011 As per my view, a commercial coaching or training centres which also having the authority to grant of a certificate or diploma or degree or any educational qualification, is exempt from ST. In your case only providing coaching classes and not has any authority to issue such certificate. Hope, it clarifies you.
