Is service tax applicable on this kind of work?

If yes under with service and what will be the rate of service tax?

25 May 2009 Liable under BAS - production / proicessing of goods not amounting to manufacture.
On the labour charges part there is a liability.
Options: Avail cenvat credit on raw materials and pay ST on full amount. [ may not be feasable since volume low and excise documents may notbe available]
Avail deduction for materials cost under Not.12/2003 [doumentary proof for same could be an issue]
A possible legal argument couldbe that this is works contract and in WC the entry does not exist. [ to use this argument there shouldbe some case law precedence. which presently is not there]
