VERSUS CALCUTTA CLUB LIMITED AND CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE AND SERVICE & ORS. VERSUS M/S. RANCHI CLUB LTD.

VERSUS CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE & SERVICE TAX [2012 (6) TMI 636 - JHARKHAND HIGH COURT] where it was held that from 2005 onwards, the Finance Act of 1994 does not purport to levy service tax on members’ clubs in the incorporated form.
