As per Notification No.25/2012 item No.14
Services by way of construction, erection, commissioning, or installation of original works pertaining to,-
(b) a single residential unit otherwise than as a part of a residential complex;

The earlier definition of complex excluding the building which has 12 or less residential units has been omitted.

Only single residential units are exempt from Service tax by mega exemption notification.

Thanks
