Pursuant to negative list, will interest on loan- secured/ unsecured be a taxable service w.e.f 01/07/2012.
Sr. no. 1 of Abatement notification no. 13/2012-ST dated. 17-3-2012 provides 90% on services falling under the Financial leasing services including equipment leasing and hire purchase towards interest. In light of above, can it be construed that interest is not a service?
