03 July 2013 I am confused about the first the definition of Work Contract which says "a contract in which transfer of property in goods involves Tax as sale of goods"
Now My question is whether it Transfer of property is necessary for a Work Contract.

Then how only repair work will come under the definition of Work Contract
