Yes, you are liable to pay service tax for the services rendered by you to L&T.

Dear Hari,

 

The exemption can only be extended to a sub-contractor, if the contract is a works contract even in the hands of the sub-contractor [Para 29(h) of the Mega Exemption Notification]. Hence, you would be required to pay Service tax.
