The CESTAT held that the services provided by the appellant did not qualify as Online Information Data and Access Retrieval (OIDAR) services. The appellant performed activities like copyediting, typesetting, formatting, proofreading, graphic designing, indexing, and coding on data provided by a foreign entity, without owning or transferring the data.
