Such contract payment is not liable to reverse charge, you can claim refund to the department.

Dear Neha, You are correct that since the service provider rendering service of Works contract to you is a company, reverse charge is not applicable. Your refund claim is valid.

For furhter clarifications, you may e:mail me.

The companies act does not make such body a body corporate, so there is no reverse charge.
