CORAM : Honble Ms. Archana Wadhwa, Member (Judicial) Honble Shri Rakesh Kumar, Member (Technical) Final Order No. 55856 Dated : 12/03/2013 Per. Archana Wadhwa :-
After hearing both the sides, we find service tax stand confirmed against the applicant under the category of tour operators for the period 1/4/2000 to 31/03/2004.
2. Learned advocate submits that such services were exempted with retrospective effect vide Notification No. 20/2009-ST dated 07/07/2009. In as much as the said notification was not in existence at the time of passing of the impugned orders, we deem it fit to set aside the same and remand the matter to original Adjudicating Authority for fresh decision in the light of the above notification. Appeal is thus allowed by way of remand.
