1. Dish Tv is importing Srt top boxes 2. Paying custom duty and CVD 3. selling them to customer, who now owns the set top box
It is trading and no service tax on this is chargeable and therefore, no question of set off.
Transmission service through the set top box is a service which has nothing to do with sale of set top boxes.
