It concluded that the appellant's operation of the Executive Lounge fell under its hospitality business, not airport services. The tax demand was deemed unjustified, and the stay application was allowed to prevent undue financial burden on the appellant pending appeal resolution. en-us Tue, 13 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:47:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=1627 The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT, New Delhi, ruled in favor of the appellant in a stay application concerning a service tax demand and penalty for operating an Executive Lounge at Delhi Airport.
