Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding GST rates applicable to works contracts, specifically whether to charge 12% or 18%. The consensus suggests the applicable rate depends on factors like the contract's award date, the specific government department involved, and the nature of the work. While Section 14 of the CGST Act is mentioned, it's advised to consult relevant notifications and potentially seek expert advice for a definitive answer.

As per Govt notifications ( Some Govt sector rate 12% & Some govt sector 18%) You should check which Govt Department you are providing services to.
As per Section 14 of CGST Act need to raise the bill with 18% GST
It may 12% or 18% . Sec 14 is a relevant section but nature of work order awarded must be known.

Applicable rate of Works Contract is based on the Notification No.11/2017-Central Tax Rate and further amendments there on. And also it is based on the Contract Issuing department and nature of the contract. It is better to take expert opinion.
