Dear Vishavjeet,

Exemption is still allowed as per entry no. 5 under mega exemption. Text is as under

"5. Services by a person by way of -

a) renting of precinct of a religious place meant for general public; or

b) conduct of any religious ceremony."

Circular No. 80/10/2004-ST has not been rescinded yet.
