Exemption extension for hotels providing mandap keeper and catering services continued by notification altering the expiry date. The amendment substitutes the expiry date in paragraph 2 of Notification No.12/2001-Service Tax so that the period during which the exemption for hotels providing mandap keeper services together with catering is extended to a later specified date; the Central Government invokes section 93 of the Finance Act, 1994 and records public interest as the basis for this temporal extension.
