The case examined whether customer advances reported in service tax returns constituted taxable revenue. The Tribunal ruled that revenue accrues only on execution of conveyance deeds, and advances cannot be treated as under-reported turnover.
It was ruled that under-reported revenue cannot be inferred solely from service tax data when no defects are found in regularly maintained books. Income must be assessed on real income principles supported by enquiry and evidence.
The ruling explains the procedural outcome when a section 263 order is set aside. Original assessment appeals are restored, while appeals from consequential orders are dismissed as infructuous.

The Tribunal held that mere facilitation of third-party payments to an associated enterprise does not constitute a service. As no value addition was involved, applying a markup on reimbursements was found unsustainable.
