Service tax on works contract service

Hi,

BSNL (Bharat Sanchar NIgam Limited) a telecom company, has its own Civil Wing for carrying out Civil works for CREATION AND MAINTENANCE of its infrastructure, but off late they have started taking works from external Government Departments/ Universities etc.on Project Management Consultancy (PMC) basis and earning centage on the value of contract. BSNL is a 100% govt owned Company established under Comanies Act 1956.

 

My Question:-

Whether Civil works carried out by BSNL civil wing for other Central Govt Departments/Central Universities would be exempted under notification No 25/2012 dt 20-6-2012 under the definition of "governmental authority"

No, except for the services specifically exempted under mega exemption notification 25/2012 (e.g. sr no 12,13,14..) services provided by BSNL  are also taxable.  Exemptions given under 25/2012 are general and  applicable for all service providers .
