1) Are we supposed to pay Service Tax on Food Bills which include Service Charge.

2) Food cannot be categorized under Service and hence the ST should be only on Service charge.   OR

3) In case logical question can be if food and service cannot be seggregated then the ST should be at abbated rate or should be at lowest rate

Need Clarifications on above points.
