Taxability of coaching relating to abacus

Following service is covered under negative list of services:
services by way of—
pre­school education and education up to higher secondary school or equivalent;
education as a part of a curriculum for obtaining a qualification recognised by any law for the time being in force;
education as a part of an approved vocational education course;
The said coaching institute does not falls under any of the above category. Hence service tax is leviable on this service.

it seems that, the above coaching is a private coaching center and not providing as a part of a recognised course curriculum. so it is purely taxable.

thanks for the replies .

whether the taxability would change if institution is not collecting separate fees for the same ? and not providing bifurcation any bifurcation

Coaching or training in arts culture and sports is exempt from levy of service tax. Abacus however may not be covered under any of this 3 entries. Hence taxable.

Taxability would remain as it is.
