Flying abroad? Pay service tax first to get boarding pass!

Ahmedabad: All those who have booked your tickets between March 1 and 31 for post April 1 travel don't be surprised if you are asked to pay extra money for your ticket at the airline's counter.
For, a circular issued by Air India has stated that the airlines will be collecting the difference in service tax from you at the airport itself. This will be applicable to both domestic and international travellers across categories. The circular states that the difference in service tax will only be demanded from travellers who booked their tickets through ticket agents. Those who booked their tickets directly from the airlines website or office will not be required to do so. Sources said it is so because when booking through an agent the money is not credited to the airline's account before the book of accounts are close on March 31. This is why those who booked the ticket directly through the airlines won't have to pay the difference.
