Thank you Sumit...........
But "modernisation or renovation or repairs of factory, premises of provider of output service or an office relating to such premises" is included under input service-- which itself is a works contract service.........................
Please clarify

The relevant inclusion portion of Rule 2(l) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 covers all the services in relation of repair, modernisation or repairs of a factory........ i.e. it in includes all the services in this context, whether works contract or non-works contract(e.g. security services, legal services etc.) It is broader in nature. The inclusion part doesn't distinguish between works contract & other services.
But the exclusion part of the definition only the works contract service of a building, even if in context of above.
