Service portion in the supply of food or any other article of human consumption or drink at a restaurant- Existing taxable portion was-30%, Proposed taxable portion is-40%
if above service is provided from a premises elsewhere(outdoor catering)-Existing taxable portion- 50%, Proposed taxable portion-60%.
No cenvat credit will be allowed. Earlier it was 70% abatement now it is only 60% and notification 13 is to be reconsidered.

As far as I am aware of that 70% abatement is not correct and will be corrected to 60%. Beceause earlier it was 70% but now it s changed to 60%.

The query is why there is two similar provisions for same service of food supply, one under a Notification and another in Valuation Rules. What is logic behind it or purpose of it.....
You have got it wrong. I ma not answering the qury. Infact I am also asking this question. I need a simple clarification. It is matter of fact that for particular activity there will be only single provision in the Law. But why for this service of Food supply, there is two similar provisions. ....Because it seems that purpose of both these notifications is same to provide the rates of abatement.
That is what I want to explain as at one place abatement of 70% is given and at other place taxable portion 40% is given. The abatement given in this aspact needs to be reconsidered.
There are other abatements also not provided in this list like
75%/67% abatement in case on construction of complex service.

I have gone through both Notifications and your observation about the rate is right. But Cant the Government merge both the provisions at a single place rather than giving a two places.... May be it happens one they come into effect.
