In list of services provided by government which are exempted.
There is first entry that following services of government are exempt , to which there is an exception that , we services by postal dept are not exempt if provided to a person other than central /state /local government.
This gives an impression that if postal departmental services are provided to other governmental organization it is exempted.-----1
But , there is an another entry that says services of cg/sg provided to another cg/sg are exempted.
Here it is written that this exemption is not applicable to specified services .----------------------------------2
Now, this gives an explanation that departmental postal services by government authority to another governmental authority are not exempt.
Aren't these 1 and 2 contradicting

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies exemptions for services provided by the government, particularly concerning the postal department. It addresses a potential contradiction between two exemption rules. The core point is that postal department services are exempt when provided to other government entities (like the Income Tax department), but not when provided to private individuals or non-governmental organisations.
