Comparable-service valuation under service-tax rules requires comparison between service recipients who stand on the same footing. Flats and a commercial unit allotted without monetary consideration to existing occupants under a redevelopment arrangement could not be valued by reference to sale prices of flats sold to new buyers, because the two recipient groups were not comparable.
