The CIT(A) upheld the demand stating service charges were akin to rent. The ITAT noted the tenancy agreement with landlords and service agreement with service providers were distinct. The service charges were for services unrelated to the building's use, making them not rent under s. 194-I. The payment for rent was only Rs. 5,400, below the threshold. Thus, the ITAT canceled the orders under s. 201(1) r/w s. 194-I, allowing the appeal.
