The appellant filed an appeal against the Order-in-Original No. 92/2016 dated 17.7.2014. The Tribunal noted that the appellant used various types of duty paid inputs essential for the provision of advertising services, such as display panels, stainless steel box, power meter, electrical equipment, steel framework, mobile toilets, and police booth. These items were considered necessary for the display of advertisements by the appellant, and the denial of credit on these items was found to be unjustifiable.
