As the remittance of foreign currency from abroad is a transaction in money, therefore, it will fall outside the ambit of service. It is further clarified that even the Indian counterpart bank or financial institution who charges the foreign bank or any other entity for the services provided at the receiving end, is not liable to service tax as the place of provision of such service shall be the location of the recipient of the service, i.e., outside India, in terms of Rule 3 of the Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012.
