Ministry of Finance has initiated a public debate on the issue of a negative list for taxation of services as announced by the Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee in his Budget 2011.

Here the grounds on which stay has been granted are being discussed and an attempt has been made to make readers understand the order of the High Court in the said case.
As we know the Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court has already stayed the levy of entry tax in Punjab in the case of M/s Bhushan Steel v State of Punjab case on 28-03-2011 and also in other similar writ petitions challenging the levy of entry tax in Punjab on 08-04-2011. But the interim stay were applicable only to the persons who have filed writ petitions and the relief regarding deferment from payment of entry tax was available only to the concerned persons who have filed writ petitions in the High court as a result it was giving rise to filing of more and more writ petitions on the similar issue resulting in multiplicity of litigation in the High Court.
