Not eligible if used for construction of a building or a civil structure or a part thereof, or laying of foundation or making of structures for support of capital goods. If the service is used for other purposes, e.g. finishing services, repair, alteration or restoration, these should be eligible. 

Accordin to CCR 2004 , rule 2 (l) constructionn of factory sheds or building are not eligible input services. Painting , flooring , repairs shall be regarded as modernisation renovation, repairs of a factory or office , which is allowed. Regards Karan
