Service Ltd., did not provide any service to the customer, and the money received by them was not related to services under 'Business Auxiliary Service'. This order was upheld by the Order-in-Appeal dated 15-1-2013, leading to the Revenue's appeal before the Tribunal. Both sides were represented during the proceedings, with the Revenue represented by Shri M.R. Sharma, AR, and the respondent, M/s. L.M.J. Service Ltd., represented by CA Shri Pradeep Jain.
