Service receiver is actually paying 40% which is mentioned 100% in reverse charge mechanism. He is correctly paying 100% (Which is actually 40 %). It is further clarified that Service Provider may take abatement or cenvat credit, Service receiver's share works out to 40%( he may term it as 100%) - Reply By JSW CEMENT LIMITED - The Reply = When the notification i .....
