Specified services provided to a governmental authority are exempted under notification 25/2012-ST. The definition of governmental authority for this purpose has been amended in a manner that gives it clarity. Earlier it was, a board, or an authority or any other body established with 90% or more participation by way of equity or control by Government and set up by an Act of the Parliament or a State Legislature to carry out any function entrusted to a municipality under article 243W of the Constitution. This has been changed to, an authority or a board or any other body; (i) set up by an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature; or (ii) established by Government, with 90% or more participation by way of equity or control, to carry out any function entrusted to a municipality under article 243W of the Constitution;.
The change makes it clear that the body may be either set up by an enactment or established by government. The amending notification 2/2014-ST dated 30 January 2014 can be perused at http://www.servicetax.gov.in/notifications/notfns-2014/st02-2014.htm
