21 September 2013 Yes, this is a process of manufacture.
Not, Liable to service tax.
VAT is according to the Rate Schedule of the state in which you are carrying on the work

21 September 2013 Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply,but what if the process does not amounts to manufacture..?

The work under taken is job work(Mentioned Under Notification no. 25/2012-Service tax,point no. 30 ) under which we provide only service of coating of Zinc on Steel material by using our own Zinc.

So, both service tax and VAT are attracted here.

Now on which amount Service tax and Gujarat VAT shall be attracted..??

22 September 2013 Please refer to clause (f)of section 66 D which specifies that any process amounting to manufacture or production of goods is not a service. The Galvanising process with or without material is a process of manufacture and therefore out of the purview of Service Tax and therefore clause 30 of notification 25/2012 is irrelevant.
