Why would Service Tax be invoked against notice pay at all? An employee remains an employee till the FnF formalities are completed within due legal framework. Just because a resignation/termination has ended the relationship, the employee does NOT become a vendor! And he/she is NOT raising a tax invoice to your company at any stage. I personally find this Service Tax on FnF debate (there have been a few other instances in this forum) very disturbing and ridiculous. At this rate, soon we will have HR managers (damagers?) will insist that every employee register themselves for Service Tax under the Finance Act before salaries are paid!

Service Tax is not payable on Salary or Notice Pay as the relation of employer and employee exists even on notice pay

Please let us also know what is the rate of service tax you would levy on a "salary"? And of course the law that mandates this.
Section 65B(44) of Finance Act, 1994 as introduced w.e.f. 1-7-2012 reads as follows – “Service” means any activity carried out by a person for another for consideration, and includes a declared service, but shall not include— (a) – - (b) a provision of service by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment (c) – - .
Thus, services provided by employee to employer have been excluded from the definition of ‘service’ itself.
