Is service tax attracted for services provided by nature of renting out  playgrounds and courts to individuals and corporates to conduct tournaments or matches. 

Before July 2012, under renting of immovable property services, renting of land for the purpose of sports was not taxable. However after introduction of negative list, it's not clear whether old provisions are applicable now.

pls comment whether service tax is chargeable?
