Service Tax Exemption for Railway Projects | Notification 25/2012 Covers Both Public and Private Use: CESTAT Chandigarh
CESTAT Chandigarh has ruled that services related to railway infrastructure qualify for exemption under Notification 25/2012 regardless of whether the project serves public or private interests, clarifying that the exemption is not contingent on ownership or end-use. This decision shields project consultants and agents from service tax liability in railway development, offering critical relief to private contractors and public-sector partners alike.
