B will raise a bill/invoice of ₹ 10 crore on A to charge service tax on entire amount.

Service tax is applicable on consideration received for service rendered. Here, ₹ 10 crores is received toward consideration for the service, by way of making film, is rendered, hence service tax is applicable. Thanks.

I support the views of both experts. As per Section 67, ST is leviable on gross amount charged. Pl. read Section 67 (i), & (3) of the Act and also definition of ''Consideration" below Explanation (a) of Section 67 of the Finance Act.
