03 July 2012 Whether after embroidery, the cloth is handed over to the party? Or it is pure labour contract?

However, this is not in the negative list and hence will come under service tax levy. One can claim exemption for first 10 lacs (SSI).

23 July 2012 In the Service Tax Act, Textile processing has not been defined.

But in General, any process related to textile i.e. cloth folding , Dyeing, Bleaching, Printing ,washing , Polishing, Embroidery including computer designed embroidery can be called as textile processing. If the party pays excise duty on the job work materials i.e finished stock, there is no service tax by the service provider, i.e job worker.

Before claiming exemption under the above head, kindly consult your Auditor/Tax consultant for another opinion.
