Full Judgment
Demand of service tax under the heading Business Auxiliary Service covering the period 10.9.2004 to 28.2.2005 together with interest and penalty is challenged by the assessees on the ground that the activity carried out by them, namely, processing on behalf of their customers, was liable to tax under the above mentioned category only w.e.f. 18.6.2005.
2. I have heard both sides. I see merit in the assessee’s submission in the light of Tribunal’s order in M/s.Gedee Weiler Pvt.Ltd. Vs CCE(ST), Coimbatore [2010-TIOL-603]. Following the ratio of the above, I set aside the impugned order and allow the appeal with consequential relief due to the assessees in accordance with law.
