As per section 2(119) of CGST Act “works contract” is defined as a contract for:

building, construction,

fabrication,

completion, erection, installation,

fitting out,

improvement, modification,

repair, maintenance, renovation,

alteration or commissioning

of any Immovable property wherein transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in some other form) is involved in the execution of such contract.

In simple words, any contract in relation to an Immovable property where services are provided along with transfer of goods is known as a “Works Contract”.
