The Government has levied service tax on construction of property which is sold before full completion. However, due to abatement, the effective service tax rate comes to be 2.575%
The matter which is pending before High Court pertains to levy of service tax on renting of commercial property and not this matter. Therefore you need to make the service tax payment.
Further, PLC charges are leviable to service tax @ 10.3%
