01 June 2015 It will attract service tax.

The real life situation is that there is no any distinction made by the photographers in their billing amount so far as service and printing is concerned.

The service portion is exigible to service tax.

04 June 2015 Sir it is OK that it is taxable service. But my question is whether it is a works contract attracting RCM & WCT?

05 June 2015 RCM stands for reverse charge mechanism under service tax and
WCT stands for works contract tax under Value Added Tax Act.

Both are independent of each other.
