CESTAT held that appellant's mail distribution activities do not constitute 'Mailing List Compilation and Mailing Service' under Section 65(63a) of Finance Act, 1994. The tribunal set aside service tax demands on reimbursable expenses based on Supreme Court precedent, citing Rule 5(1) of Valuation Rules, 2006 as ultra vires. The short payment demand was remanded for fresh adjudication, directing the Commissioner to review the reconciliation statement. Extended limitation period was disallowed due to absence of fraud or suppression. The impugned order was modified, with demands relating to service tax and reimbursement set aside, and the matter remanded for re-computation.
