Dear Sir,

according to a service tax law consultancy is coming under to service tax net but advisory is not taxable. in this connection previously we use to raise a bill as "consultancy charges" subsequently we have changed the word as "advisory charges" for advisory is exempted under the service catogary of commercial consultancy services. so, kindly change your wording of your bill as advisory charges.

Regards,
Don
