10 August 2021 12(e) will be applicable for you.

11 August 2021 Respected CA R SEETHARAMAN,

Can you please give me any evidence to justify this matter so that even sub-contractor is eligible to claim under 12(e) of notification No.25/2012.

Thank very much for your valuable opinion sir.

11 August 2021 29(h) sub-contractor providing services by way of works contract to another contractor providing works contract services which are exempt[Notification No. 25/2012-ST, dated 20.06.2012]

The above entry makes it clear that if the principal contractor is providing an exempt works contract service [for example providing works contract service to Government] then in such case if some part of the works contract is sub-contracted then the sub-contractor would also be exempt from payment of service tax

11 August 2021 Dear sir,
Thanks for making it very clear and much appreciated !!

11 August 2021 Spending my retired life usefully.
