03 September 2008 the assessee has received letter from service tax depatment address to main broker and has stated that the exemption under notification 06/2005-ST Dated 01-03-2005 is ammended are not applicable in the case of sub brokers.

They are providing the services on behalf of the stock brokers (main borkers) and contract note evidencing the sales of purchase of securities are issued by the main stock brokers
Sub borkers on his own canot provide a service in relation to buying or selling of securities listed on stock exchange. Hence the sub borkers are providing taxable service under the trade name of other person and hence the above emption is not availbale to them.
