As per my opinion w.e.f. 01.04.2011 after change in definition of input service credit on both the above case of construction and works contract is not available
THis provision is applicable to some 7 specific services
Exception: if Input and output service is same. E.g. that is if construction iservice is used for providing the construction service only then credit is available.
