Yes, exempted...
The services rendered to the authority shall be in relation to the function entrusted to the Municipality or Panchayat. One of the very important phrases used in the given notification is “in relation to” which needs to be analyzed.
The Apex Court in the matter of State Of Karnataka vs Azad Coach Builders Pvt. Ltd. & Anr has held that –
“The expression `in relation to’ are words of comprehensiveness, which might both have a direct significance as well as an indirect significance, depending on the context in which it is used and they are not words of restrictive content and ought not be so construed”
