Can the service tax be challenged on basic grounds?

You reflect the general anger of the common man, but it is our fundamental duty "to abide by the Constitution and respect the National Flag and the National Anthem" of our Country so we have to respect any Law constitutionally passed the Government and comply with it.

When time comes the Country will answer you question.

Jai Hind!

Thank you Sir for your reply.

there is no doubt about what you said about the constitution, the tricolour and the national anthem. However, my question was in different direction. It was w.r.t. the accountability on the part of the lawmakers to utilize taxpayers' money effectively and without misuse and misappropriation. I am sure constitution does not 1) protect those who make the laws to loot the public on one side, 2) on the other hand gives them free hand for such misappropriation and 3) stop the common man from questioning the rulers' motives in taxing the common men without changing their ways of governing. Hence the original question!

Hi RajIndia,

At the outset, please note that the Central Government has constitutional powers vide entry 92C to union list of the Constitution of India and hence, the same cannot be denied to be paid by the tax payer on any ground as long as the activity qualifies as Service.

With respect to your complaint on improper allocation of tax paid funds, you shall show your anger at the proper span of time which is the coming general public elections on the government.

Thanks.
