In contrast, works contract services used to construct or set up BPO branches fall within the exclusion for construction of buildings or civil structures, making related credit inadmissible. Where disputed credit was disclosed in ST-3 returns and refund claims, audit detection alone does not establish suppression or other conditions for extended limitation; recovery is confined to the normal period and requires recomputation.
