Kindly help me out with a query.

Air conditioned restaurants with a licence to servce alcoholic beverages have been brought under servcie tax from may 1, 2011.

In case the restaurant is part of a hotel and the bar licence is in the name of a hotel and the hotel has other sales outlets in the same building  that do not serve alcohol or are not having air conditioning, whether the servcie tax is only applicable for the particular sales outlet or restaurant that serves alcohol and has an AC OR does it apply to all sales outlets in the building?

Thank you for your support.
