16 September 2012 It is clarified that pandal/shaiana services provided for pure religious
ceremonies or congregation for example, for worship of Gods/goddesses, are not liable to
service tax. It is also clarified that in case a café, hotels, restaurants etc. delivers food to
home and no charge, other than that for the cost of the foods, is charged (i.e. free home
delivery) no service tax is leviable
