Foe work Contract service- every contract is independent contract, so we are free to opt or not on any contract for composition.

subodh,
thanks for the information. But apart from this contract, we are raising invoice at the rate of 12.36%. how do we opt such option for single contract. Please let us know.

there is no such declaration for using this option, but it is totally based on each contract separately. Mind the contract shud be separtae one from charging contract @12.36%. It means for each and evry contract, u can charge 4%(1.3.2008),before that 2% or 12.36%.
