Rakesh,

Reverse charge mechanism works where the service receiver is a Body Corporate. Section 65(14) of Finance Act 1994 provides that Body Corporate has the meaning assigned under section 2(7) of Companies Act 1956.

I believe a Society registered under Societies Registration Act is not a Body Corporate. Therefore reverse charge mechanism will not apply. The receiver will pay the service tax to provider who in turn will deposit to Govt.
