03 October 2021 From the query, I derived the service part....... i.e. "Service related to NHAI"
No other notification.
All the different 'work contracts' supply to Government fall under 12% slab......

03 October 2021 Thanks for your reply again Sir

But it's not a works contract nor it involves any construction Activity..
It involves only cleaning of Toilet Blocks that's it...it can be taken as pure man power supply for cleaning services...so is the confusion as to the GST rate

03 October 2021 Yes, you are right, but the main intention of NHAI is to construct roads and maintain them. They are not in the business of sewage cleaning etc... So that may be the reason that they themselves have suggested the rate.

03 October 2021 Thanks for your prompt reply again Sir..

The work order is not given by NHAI..
But it's given by principal Contractor..my client is subcontractor...
So we can't believe that they will be correct..
