If the fitting charge are negligible and sale is the dominant activity then ST not payable. However considering that you have opted for composition it appears to be a WC.
If so you would have to pay ST on 70% of the value as per Valuation Rule.
Advisable not tobe under compostion - to be under regular shceme and pay VAT on transfer of property [ after availing the set off -ITC]and ST on the service part.[ after availing the credit of ED on capital goods and input services if any.
