As per the amended definition of the term Input service, some services are excluded from the definition of input services which also excludes service tax paid to contractor for constructing a building or a civil structure or making a foundation of a capital goods.

But when your output service is noting but construction per se, then you can avail the service tax credit otherwise not.
