Service Tax is applicable on LIC from 1st Oct., 2013. But why the rate os Service tax is 3.09% and not 12.36%?

Please tell me ,Which option would be better and is my calculation correct?
for my client

Nature of service : Bus body Fabrication on New chassis supplied by bus owner

Total amt charged Rs. 1,000,000 per bus

Raw material+Tolls and other cost by our client is Rs. 700,000
Vat Input on above (5%+13%) Rs.90,000 Aprox
Labor charge paid to contractor for this work Rs.100,000

Material supplied by bus owner him self of Rs.150,000(What would its treatment ?)

Profit Rs. 50000.00
Vat Payable @ 13% on 10,00,000 i.e.Rs.130000

MY SOLUTION:

OPTION 1
Rule 2A (i)of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 

Total amt charged Rs. 1,000,000
Less : value of property in goods transferred
Raw material used by our client+VAT Rs.790000
Labor charge paid to contractor -nil


Value of service portion Rs.210,000

S.Tax @ 12% on Rs. 210000 = Rs. 25200

OPTION 2
   Rule 2A (ii)of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 

Total amount charged Rs.1,000,000

40 % of original work = rs.400000

S.Tax @ 12% on Rs. 400000 = rs. 48000
