                                     exclusive commercial organization  and  carrying  out their manufacturing  and
                                     sales  activity in the factory where the appellant have provided the services,
                                     therefore, the services provided by the appellant is undoubtedly in relation to
                                     business or commerce. The submission of the appellant is all along that the ser-
                                     vices of the appellant do not fall under the inclusive clause or does not remain
                                     similar to the sale services. We are of the view that it is not necessary that only
                                     those support service which are identical or similar to the services under the in-
                                     clusion clause will fall under business support service. The services mentioned in
                                     the definition as inclusive are some of  the services apart from all the services
                                     which are provided in relation to business or commerce.
                                            9.  Therefore, we have no doubt in our mind that the services provided
                                     by the appellant to M/s. Welspun who have used this service undisputedly in
                                     relation to their business  or commerce  and will fall under support services  of
                                     business or commerce. Therefore, the demand under business support service
                                     was rightly invoked by the revenue. As regard the limitation, since there was no
                                     ambiguity as regard taxability of appellant service under the head of Business
                                     Support Service, non-payment of Service Tax without informing to the depart-
                                     ment is clearly under suppression of fact on the part of the appellant, therefore,
                                     the demand for extended period is rightly invoked by the Adjudicating Authori-
                                     ty and the First Appellate Authority.
                                            10.  As per our above discussion the demand in respect of rent a cab op-
                                     erator service is sustainable only to the extent it relates to the normal period and
                                     demand for the extended period is set aside. As regard demand of Business Sup-
                                     port Service the same is sustainable, as regard penalty imposed under Section 76
                                     and 78, we are of the view that simultaneous penalty under Section 76 and 78
                                     cannot be imposed as held by Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in the case of Rawal
                                     Trading Company-2016 (42) S.T.R. 210 (Guj.), therefore, the penalty imposed under
                                     Section 76 is set aside. Other penalties and interests to the extent demand was
                                     sustained, is imposable.
                                            11.  As per our above discussion and finding, impugned order is modi-
                                     fied to above extent. Appeal is partly allowed.
