The scheme of 30:70 in not correct. How they identify 70% as cost of material whereas they are paying WCT on the whole amount at the rate of 2.8%. Since your case is of AMC, you may avail the benefit under notification no. 12/2003 (but you have to ensure to prove the cost of material). In case you are sure that your services are falling under the category of works contract it is better to avail the benefit of composition scheme @4%
