8 Lacs pm is taxable ...........without any clarification 

3 lacs is taxable if payee is company,

exempted if payee is employees in their individual capacity

8 Lacs is Taxable

the stay has been given by Delhi and Madras High court on rental of immovable property, so service tax may not be charged on business purpose also.. the matter will come on 19th july in Delhi High Court..

Dear Sir,

                This provision is applicable after 19th july not before

it will be decided on 19th july....the court has already heared the matter, and likely to pronounce the judgement on 19th
