M/S. Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt. ... vs Commissioner Of Central Excise, ... on 18 November, 2010
7. The first issue that arises for consideration is whether the appellant is eligible for credit on the various input services like Mandap Keeper Service, Real Estate Agent Service, Transport of Goods by Air Service, Programme Producer Service, Event Management Service etc. The period involved is prior to 1.4.2011 when the definition of input services had a wide ambit as it included the words activities relating to business. The Honble High Court of Bombay in the case of Coca Cola India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Pune 20009 (242) ELT 168 (Bom.) has analysed the implication of the term within the definition of input services and has held that almost all activities relating to the business of the assessee would fall within the ambit of input service. We therefore hold that the denial of credit alleging that these services do not qualify for input service is unjustified.
