18 October 2016 No cenvat credit can be claimed but sub contractor is also exempted from service tax when main contractor is doing exempted work.

19 October 2016 Thank You seetharaman ji, but if the nature of subcontractor is different .that means if we are getting security service or manpower service from a contractor ,which came under reverse charge and we pay tax then???and if the subcontractor is charging tax in the bill and we are paying the same ,then what to do??
