Dear Sir,
As per the negative list: service relating to agriculture by way of -
Processes carried out at an agricultural farm including tending, pruning, cutting, harvesting, drying, cleaning, trimming, sun drying, fumigating, curing, sorting, grading, cooling or bulk packaging and such like operations which do not alter the essential characteristics of agricultural produce but make it only marketable for the primary market.
Thus, as in your case, service tax will not be applicable.
Thank You!
