One of our clients are providing recruitment service like naukari.com etc, the candidates or the HR Firm upload their CV from our Client's app, and later they process and send it to the companies and the concerned candidates are selected. So My Question is merely because my client is using the app to get the CV of the candidates themselves or from HR Firm, it will amount to aggregator service, since the same can be treated as manpower recruitment service. Is it a aggregator service or not??

Hi, as per the definition of aggregator the main point is that the aggregator should make customer connect with service provider through an app. As employment is not a service the same will not be aggregator but web based services and are taxable. But if you provide a platform where companies and hr firms come together then you will be considered aggregators.

But the main thing is service provider should use ur brand name while providing service to customer then only it is aggregator service or else it is taxable as normal web based service not aggregator service.
