A few months back one gentleman from Jodhpur/Rajasthan, asked an information under RTI act regarding " realization of amount of Eastern Railway towards
rent for commercial plots etc. for period from 01.06.2007 to30.06.2008" and said information after collecting from concerned department was sent by DGM(g)
Office.
With the information provided above as Annexure- 1 recently a Notice to show cause cum demand was received from Commissioner of Service Tax / Kolkata stating that the services provided are taxable services under service Tax Act and asked to reply within 30 days of receipt of the notice as to why
(1). Service tax amounting to Rs………… shall not be demanded and recovered under sction 73(1).
(2) Appropriate Interest on the due amount shall not be paid, under section 75 of the said act.
(3). Penalty under section 78 shall not be imposed.
The said notice is required to produce at the time of showing cause all the evidence upon which the intend to relyin support of their defence.
I requests officers from different Railways whether any such tax is being paid by them and what may be evidence in support of our defence. I gone through Indian Railway Act and service tax Act but these are almost silent on the issue.
