Quick Summary
The West Bengal Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has determined that the supply and installation of pumps for a sewerage treatment plant constitute a 'works contract service'. This ruling applies when such services are provided to a local authority, like the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
