CESTAT held that booking cancellation charges are not service consideration but damages for contract breach. Cancellation charges collected by the dealer do not constitute a service element and are not taxable under service tax regulations. The tribunal referenced prior case law establishing that such charges represent compensation for contract non-performance, not service provision.
