08 March 2013 Consultancies Service Definitely falls Under Service Tax Purview.

But There is no service tax on IPD and OPD services provided by the individual doctors.

08 March 2013 Services of doctors are excluded from the purview of service tax as you being a surgeon no ser tax. However if you undertake any coomercial service as giving lectures and receive any consideration, then probably yes, payable. But if you are drawing income below ten lacs from such commercial activity you stand exempted from ser tax
