01 March 2013 Only when this service is provided by any Individuals, HUF, Partnership Firms, association of persons to a business entity registered as Body Corporate than Reverse Charge Mechanism will apply.

Body Corporate means body corporate" or" corporation' includes a company incorporated outside India but 1[ does not include-
(a) a corporation sole;
(b) a co- operative society registered under any law relating to co- operative societies; and
(c) any other body corporate (not being a company as defined in this Act) which the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify in this behalf.
