The appellant's appeal was allowed by the Appellate Tribunal, and the penalty imposed u/s 78 of the Finance Act, 1994, was set aside. It was held that when an assessee admits and discharges the service tax liability along with interest before the issuance of a show cause notice, it demonstrates a reasonable cause for non-payment, and the case stands closed u/s 73(3) of the Act.
