sir.

We are in the business of food processing.

we lift wheat from fci (central govt.) on behalf of state govt. As per the instruction of state govt, we convert this wheat into flour and supply it to FPS (fair price shop) nominated by state govt. wheat supplied by the govt. in under public welfare scheme to supply wheat to BPL people at subsidised rates (Food Safety Act)

the cost of wheat is fixed by central govt and cost of supplying aata is fixed by state govt. the differnce, if any is provided by govt or is taken by the govt from us.

are we covered under the ambit of service tax?
