Conflicting coordinate Bench decisions on whether bank commitment charges for keeping sanctioned loan funds available are exigible to service tax required a Larger Bench reference. One view treated the charges as consideration for the bank's contractual commitment to lend, with a clear quid pro quo and no character as interest; the other view, invoking judicial discipline, found that earlier coordinate decisions could not be ignored and that the matter should be placed before the President for constitution of a Larger Bench.
