Exemption of ST to Educational Institutes

[Srivatsan Krishnamachari]

Dear Experts,

I wish to refer to the Mega Exemption notification 25/2012 point no.12.

As per the above Service tax is exempt,

" when service provided to Govt - Local authority or Govt. Authority by way of Construction-Erection-Commissioning-Installation-Completion - Fitting out - Repairs - Maintenance - Renovation - Alteration of a Structure meant predominantly for use as Educational , Clinical, art or cultural establishment'".

I wish to know are there any further notifications amending the above, if yes, please provide notification number and also provide your comments.

Thanks in advance

Srinivas
