Levy of servicetax - (1) MDC for Gas Transportation: The CESTAT ruled that the MDC collected by the appellant cannot be considered as payment for a service provided, especially when gas consumption falls below a certain threshold. Therefore, they held that the appellant is not liable to pay service tax on MDC. - (2) Realization of Sale Value of Gas: Citing a precedent involving GAIL India Limited, the Tribunal found that the marketing margin received by the appellant, which is part of the sale value of gas, does not attract service tax.
