| Service tax leviable on constraction contract only if constraction of building or structure for commerce and industry. Through MF(DR) Circular No. B2/8/2004 dated 10-9-2004 clarifies that constraction which are for charitable purpose.. threfore there is no service tax ..
You must consider Construction for BPL is not for Commercial or industrial.
