01 October 2012 The services provided to the local authority [ bwssb should be one] in relation to pipeline, conduit or plant for water treatment is exempted vide sl no.12 of Not 25/12 [ mega exemption]

Whether that service is provided by the main contractor or sub contractor would not matter.

As long as sub contract is for the same work exemption canbe claimed.
