Issues: Whether processing of raw material, periodical testing of materials and finished products, quality control, and maintenance of machinery amounted to consulting engineer service liable to service tax.
Analysis: The services rendered were admitted to consist of processing, testing, quality control and maintenance. Such activities were held to be testing services, and the mere detection of defects or indicating that corrective steps are required did not amount to advice or consultancy. The broader meaning of consulting engineer service was found inapplicable on these facts, as the work did not involve technical consultancy in the relevant sense.
Conclusion: The impugned order was unsustainable because the services did not fall within consulting engineer service and the service tax demand could not be sustained.
