Exemption for export-oriented units: DTA sales by EOU are not automatically service tax exempt without specific notification.
Whether exemption from service tax applies to DTA sales by a 100% EOU in SEEPZ registered for Scientific & Technical Services: there is no blanket exemption for EOUs, SEEPZ permission to make DTA sales does not itself create exemption, and any relief depends on explicit statutory or notification-based provisions applicable to SEZ-located units. (AI Summary)
