Advance Ruling – The definition of advance ruling makes it abundantly clear that it is concerned with determination of the question of law or fact in relation to service which is proposed to be provided by the applicant- In as much as in this case the activity in respect of which an advance ruling is sought, is not the one which is proposed to be provided but is an ongoing activity, the application is not maintainable.
therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the said Act and in pursuance of rule 23 of the said Rules, the Central Government hereby makes the following amendment in the notification of the Government of India, in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), No. 97/2002 -Customs, dated the12th September, 2002.
