The AAR held that the applicant's dredging and de-silting services performed using Cutter Suction Dredger in specified river channels for the Government of West Bengal constitute a pure service without any supply of goods. The activity involves excavation and removal of silt without any construction or creation of dumping grounds, thereby excluding it from works contract or composite supply classifications. Consequently, the service satisfies all conditions under Entry No. 3 of Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate). The Authority ruled that the supply of dredging and removal of dredged materials falls within the scope of this entry, rendering the applicable GST rate as NIL.
