Dear Sir
It can not be classified under Management/Business consultancy services U/s 65 (65)of the Finance Act 1994, for sure as the definition is not at all covering the liasion service with Govt Offices/Bodies.
Similarly Business Auxiliary Services can also not cover the aforesaid service.
However the same may be covered by Section 65 (104 c) of the FA 1994, i.e. Business Support Services circumvendingly-
"... infrastructure support services and other transaction processing"
But since you have very sound chance of claiming not to have been covered by service tax, write officially to your jurisdictional STAO the same and get legally insulated and avoid taxation.
