Thank you MR. Dheeraj, In this regard, If the tender was accepted before 31.3.2015 or even before (i.e) 31.12.2015 will the ST applicable. We have a clause stating IF ANY EXTRA TAXES ARE LEVIED IT WILL BE RE EMBURSED, Will it be applicable. More over no notification is received till date.

Under this project we construct toilet for poor and trible population and handedour to individual for use. To run this project Rajasthan and Center Govt. contribution is Rs.12000/- per toilet and we club Rs.3000/- from CSR. we know that sanotation work for community is exmept but CSR Unit (Hindustan Zinc) duducte TDS on payment.
