Of course Sl. No.29(h) gives exemption to SCs if main contractor has been awarded an exempt work and if SC also falls under WCS category. However, here it is to be seen whether construction of Godown in favour of Govt. is exempt or not just because it has been awarded by Govt. it cannot be taken as granted. We need to see the agreement between MC and Govt.
