Further, the exemption under Notification No. 32/2004-ST dated 03.12.2004 is available for the service provided by GTA and the said benefit would not be available to other persons, who are liable to pay service tax in terms of Notification No. 35/2004-St dated 03.12.2004. In the instant case, since the unit is not the GTA, hence, alleging that benefit of the Notification No. 32/2004-ST dated 03.12.2004 is not available to the unit and it is liable to pay the service tax on full amount of the fr .....

In this respect I find that the department has not provided any evidence in this case to show that GTA have availed credit on inputs and capital goods used for providing taxable service or that they have availed the benefit of Notification No. 12/2003 dated 20.06.2003 which is a must in this case.
