THROUGH the finance budget -2009, an explanation is added to Sec.80IA which says that if the elegible business as mentioned in sec80IA(4) is carried out by a contractor as a works contract, the said deduction shall not be available to the works contractor.
The deductions is actually given to cover up the investment risk and not the contract risk. !!!!!!
