The case before CESTAT involved the classification of "convenience fee" and "cancellation charges" as either Air Travel Agent Services or Business Auxiliary Services. CESTAT held that these fees, collected by the appellant, were not part of any other service provided. The charges were found to relate solely to the service of booking air tickets. CESTAT also determined that the fees did not attract additional service tax liability before or after 01.07.2012. The tribunal rejected the imposition of penalties, citing lack of evidence of intent to evade duty and the appellant's belief that the fees were not taxable. The appeal was allowed in favor of the appellant.
