Issues: (i) Whether the Jaipur Development Authority is a Governmental Authority for the purpose of the relevant GST notification and whether the contract for rejuvenation and related civil works falls within serial no. 3(vi)(a) of Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as amended. (ii) Whether GST at 12% applies to the subcontractor leg of the said works contract.
Issue (i): Whether the Jaipur Development Authority is a Governmental Authority for the purpose of the relevant GST notification and whether the contract for rejuvenation and related civil works falls within serial no. 3(vi)(a) of Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as amended.
Analysis: The Authority noted that the Jaipur Development Authority was constituted under a State enactment, exercised functions of urban development, and was subject to State control. It also found that the works in question were predominantly civil works and original works meant for public development rather than for commerce, industry, or business. On that basis, the services supplied under the contract were held to fall within the relevant entry for works contract services rendered to a Governmental Authority.
Conclusion: Yes. The Jaipur Development Authority was treated as a Governmental Authority, and the contract services were covered by serial no. 3(vi)(a) of the applicable notification.
Issue (ii): Whether GST at 12% applies to the subcontractor leg of the said works contract.
Analysis: The ruling accepted the position that subcontractor works contract services, where supplied in relation to works contract services taxable at the applicable rate to the main contractor, attract the same rate. Reliance was placed on the subsequent notification clarifying the rate applicable to the subcontractor leg.
Conclusion: Yes. The subcontractor leg was also held liable to GST at 12%.
Final Conclusion: The contract was held to be a taxable works contract service eligible for the concessional rate, and the same rate was extended to subcontracted works under the clarified notification framework.
Ratio Decidendi: A State-established development authority performing functions entrusted under the Constitution qualifies as a Governmental Authority, and works contract services consisting of predominantly civil/original works for such an authority are taxable at the notified concessional rate, which also extends to the subcontractor leg where specifically clarified.
