24 August 2007 In my opinion it should come under service tax perview, but which type of development ? if its engineering related then it will come under consulting engineering service.

24 August 2007 It is ulimately sale not service, after tranfer of asset no question about service tax. If its ultimate transfer of your asset then no service tax other wise you have to pay.
