hi Ankit..

this notification is fine but what about..Control?

 

I mean i have read in the Reckoner that to decide Manpower service and apply reverse charge mechanism( 25:75) we need to see that whether person works under the control of Principal Employer or not.

In that Security Service was excluded and reason was given that "AS SECURITY PERSON DO NOT WORK UNDER THE CONTROL OF PRINCIPAL EMPLOYER"

Due to this Notification SHOULD WE IGNORE THE CONTROL POINT?

ARE WE REQUIRED TO VERIFY WHETHER SECURITY PERSON IS WORKING UNDER OUR CONTROL OR NOT TO APPLY REVERSE CHARGE?

Pls reply.....

 

In my opinion, security people are under company's supervision only though salary is received from the manpower security agent.

@ Jiya - Now security service is been added specifically, I believe control point is not a question.

 

@ RKR - security services” means services relating to the security of any property, whether movable or immovable, or of any person, in any manner and includes the services of investigation, detection or verification, of any fact or activity - so you point can't be applied in full to security services.

The condition of control applies to supply of manpower only.
