The Calcutta High Court has stayed the Service Tax Audits against Magma Housing Finance Ltd.

The Petitioner has challenged impugned notices dated December 13, 2018, and April 25, 2019, which demands the details for Service Tax Audits.

Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent authorities has placed reliance on a coordinate Bench judgment of the Calcutta High Court in M/s. Gitanjali Vacation villa Private Limited & Anr. vs. The Union of India & Anr. in W.P. 380(W) of 2019 wherein the Court had refused to pass any interim order

A single-judge bench of Justice Shekhar B. Saraf said that “I am of the prima facie view that the impugned notices dated December 13, 2018, and April 25, 2019, should be stayed till June 12, 2020, or until further orders whichever is earlier”.
