The tribunal held that sub-contracting arrangements do not constitute intermediary services under service tax law, distinguishing principal-to-principal relationships from agency arrangements. The appellant's collection and contact center services were deemed part of bundled main services under Section 66F(3)(a), not separate intermediary services.
