Radaan Mediaworks India Limited has received a favorable Final Order from the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), Chennai. The tribunal allowed the company's appeals and set aside the impugned Order-in-Original passed by the Commissioner of Service Tax-II, Chennai. This order pertains to the denial of CENVAT credit on telecast fees paid for the period October 2012 to December 2015.
