CESTAT remanded the case concerning service tax exemption for educational services. The tribunal directed the adjudicating authority to comprehensively examine documentary evidence regarding the educational institution's UGC recognition and university-approved status. Specifically, the authority must verify whether the MBA courses offered by the educational institution qualify as non-commercial educational services exempt from service tax. The service tax liabilities for the educational foundation and trust must be separately determined after thorough documentary review. The appeal was disposed of through a remand order, requiring further investigation and detailed assessment of the institution's educational credentials and tax obligations.
