CESTAT upheld the levy of service tax on renting of immovable property, rejecting appellant's contention that such activity cannot be considered a service. The Tribunal determined that unless declared ultra vires by a constitutional court, the tax remains valid, noting that five different High Courts had previously affirmed this position.
