This 2.5575 is not the rate for construction it is the rate applicable to builder and if you will charges then you have to charge at new rate & if you have already charged before march 2012 you can receive later and have to pay only 2.5575 rate service tax

pls sir will you clarify abt the same in details.
Till 31st march 2012, the rate of service tax was 25% of 10.30% i.e 2.575. W.e.f 01/04/2012 the rate of service tax has been changed to 12.36% but in the exhaustive list of abatement, construction service is not mentioned. Since, the new concept of negative list and abatement not yet passed. The old procedure shall be followed with the abatement of 75% but the new rate of 12.36% will be charged. hence, till the time new notification come, the rate will be 25% of 12.36% i.e 3.09% effectively.
