The definition of taxable service provided by a pandal or shamiana contractor is given under sub-clause (zzw) of clause (105) of section 65. That is:
any service provided "to a client, by a pandal or shamiana contractor in relation to a pandal or shamiana in any manner and also includes the services, if any, rendered as a caterer".
The services rendered by a pandal or shamiana contractor as a caterer have also been included under this category of taxable service, whereas a person who only renders catering services, same has been brought in the service tax net under 'outdoor caterer service'.
