Services performed and consumed outside India were held not taxable in India under reverse charge, because the overseas inspection and processing activities related to exported goods and fell outside the import-of-service rule. The Tribunal also found the classification in the impugned order unsustainable, since the same services were not given a clear and consistent sub-clause under Business Auxiliary Service.
