Dear Sir,

As per my view since you are providing services of installation and fittings of equipments into coaches of indian railways, it is not the job work services. you may check the list of services under GST and as per my view 9954 with GST Rate 12% should be payable.

tq pawanji. but if the services dont fall under JOB work, then it cannot be 12% tax. cos only for JOB work , rate of tax is reduced from 18% to 12% w.e.f 01.10.19.

NEXT, yes i feel our kind of work will fall under 995468, other installation srvice n.e.c, but should be 18%, as it is not job work.

Hope i m going right. still, dept is in dilemma as well.

Job work is 12% but that service also shall be manufacturing service on goods owned by others. I do not think, installation service can be called as manufacturing service in first instance. If the answer is no, rate shall be 18%.

Dear Sir,

Domestic services also fall under 18% tax rate. the entry as specified by you n.e. also liable for 18%.

[YAGAY andSUN]

In our view also the rate of tax will be 18% since such services will not tantamount to manufacturing services, per se.
