It will depend upon the case. In some cases contracts are made in such a way to cheat poor labourers. They do not even understand it because of high illiteracy among them. As also suggested by Nivesh Sir, it will be applicable in case it falls under Work Contract.
So I would ask you to provide some more information...

There is no specific exemption. If work is of pure service in relation to the works entrusted to panchayat and/or Municipality mentioned in appropriate schedule or if the material involved is less than 25% of the total contract value, then exempted.

If the work qualifies as works contract, then taxable as usual rate.
