F. No. B1/5/2005-TRU

In any state for VAT to be applicable there should be transfer of property in goods from the seller to the buyer . In the instant case there is no such transfer and hence no VAT is applicable . 

In case of WCT the goods received after the contract changes as compared with the original goods . In the instant case the goods i.e . diamonds are changing , however there is no transfer of property as it is a pure labour work and so it is also not a WCT

Based on the above two explanations the TAX that is applicable on such work is SERVICE TAX as the services are being rendered by the service provider to the service receiver in the form of polishing , cutting , shaping the diamonds ...

Ok...

The TAX that is applicable is SERVICE TAX but it is exempt as per NOTIFICATION NO : 21/2005- SERVICE TAX

so, Harshal is that possibility of exice could be arise............

no i dont think so k exice applicable hoga its for manufacturing as i understand.......

Excise is not applicable as it is not a manufacture or a production of good . It is just giving a better look to the DIAMOND

Ok ...

So Harshal the diamond polishing,cutting industries is free from any Indirect tax as no indirect tax is applicable on it????????

Yes . . .free from Indirect Taxation
