Since thew contract is comprehensive it would only be liable for VAT. However disputes possible from Service tax since services are also involved.
It is advisable to bifurcate the same and get the same confirmed by the buyer/ client and pay VAT on the software transferred and charge ST for the training, AMC etc.
