The AAAR held that leasing of electric vehicles (E-Bikes/EVs) without operator is classifiable under heading 9971 for Financial and related services under Sl. No. 15(ii) of Notification No. 11/2017-CT(R) dated 28.06.2017 as amended. The rate of tax will be the same as applicable on supply of like goods involving transfer of title.
