both these 2 questions , answer are same.

Yes Service tax applicable

Dear Sanjay

Thx for the reply ...but are you sure that goods transported by "person other than Govt railway " ,                 "without container " taxable..... i have recieved some contrary views....People have told me it shall not be taxable...can you please confirm and let me know if possible.....

On 30/03, vide Circular No.21\2010 Govt has differred decision for levy of S,tx on goods transport by rail from July 2010, instead of April 2010.

Mr Tarun G now u have to clear concept

After Amendment: Finance (No.2) Act, 2009 has imposed service tax on goods transported by railways including Government railways, whether in containers or otherwise.
