Bespoke tailoring classified as service, not manufacturing, under Indian law for taxation, licensing and regulatory compliance clarity A user asks whether bespoke tailoring should be categorized as manufacturing or service under Indian law. The activity involves customized stitching of garments to individual measurements, raising a classification issue with implications for taxation, licensing, and regulatory compliance. Bespoke tailoring generally falls under 'service' as it is a personalized skill-based activity, though it may involve incidental use of materials and minor manufacturing elements.
