The Authority of Advance Ruling (AAR) stated in a ruling that all the goods supplied under the Turn-key Contract– having some independent contract- out of which those contract that does not come under the nature of works contract, will not be categorized under the value of the contract- in the nature of works contract just because the goods were a part of Turn-key contracts.

Works Contract in relation to any of the goods listed in Entry No. 234, where such goods are not part of the Works Contract shall not merit taxation under Entry No. 234”.
