2015 (5) TMI 806 - AT - Service TaxDemand of service tax - Invocation of extended period of limitation - Held that:- Revenue has not filed any appeal against the impugned Order-in-Appeal for dropping the penalty under Section 78 ibid. The period involved in this case is October, 2002 to December, 2006 while the Show Cause Notice was issued on 23.02.2008. It is thus obvious that the entire demand is beyond normal period of one year (except for a period of mere three months i.e. October, 2006 to December, 2006 and that too only if the Show Cause Notice dated 23.02.2008 was actually received by the appellants on or before 25.02.2008) and therefore is hit by time bar in view of the analysis above. When the entire demand covering the period October, 2002 to December, 2006 is a meagre ₹ 19,576/- the demand for a mere 3 months will be pittance or less making it ridiculous to remand the case for computation thereof in view of the paper and effort involved as a consequence of so doing particularly when it does not involve any question of law or interpretation thereof. - Decided in favour of assessee.
