Taxability of notice period recovery / pay - Declared Service or not - Department was of the opinion that the said amount is towards agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act, or to tolerate an act or a situation, or to do an act - In a significant ruling by the CESTAT New Delhi, the Tribunal set aside the demand for service tax on notice period payments made by employees. The Tribunal's decision hinged on the interpretation that such payments do not constitute a 'Declared Service' under the existing legal framework of the Finance Act. This judgement aligns with previous rulings that have similarly found that compensations related to premature termination of employment are not taxable services.
