Extension of rail goods transport service tax exemption to January next year by amendment replacing earlier July expiry. The Central Government, exercising powers under section 93(1) of the Finance Act, 1994, amends Notification No.08/2010-Service Tax by substituting the word and figure 'July, 2010' in paragraph 2 with 'January, 2011', thereby extending the exemption for transport of goods by rail until January 2011; the change is effected by Notification No.34/2010-Service Tax.
