PREFACE TO SEVENTH EDITION

When the first edition of this book was published in January 2018, little did we expect that we would be preparing the seventh edition within a span of thirty six months. We have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback and comments received from our readers - specifically, we are sincerely grateful for the following kind comments received over email from Mr. Arvind Datar (Senior Advocate): “Over the last few days, I was going through your book on Works Contract and I must compliment you and your co-authors in the excellent manner in which it has been written. It is really indispensable for all those practicing in GST. The Works Contract continues to be highly contentious and your book will be most useful to practitioners as well as assessees. I wish your book all success”. It is humbling and inspires us to do our best to add as much value as possible in each new edition for you, the reader. We sincerely hope that you would find this new edition as useful as you have found the previous ones.

CASE STUDIES TO PRACTICALLY UNDERSTAND WHETHER A CONTRACT WOULD QUALIFY AS ‘WORKS CONTRACT’ In light of the foregoing, we will now delve into two case-studies to practically understand scenarios where questions may arise as to whether a contract would qualify as ‘works contract’ or not and what are the tests to be taken into account.

11.1 CASE STUDY VII - SOLAR POWER GENERATING SYSTEM

A solar power generation system, generally, has been understood to include a solar panel/module (array), controller, batteries, inverters and lighting load. The electric power produced in the solar panel (consisting of an array of solar modules) is first supplied to the solar inverter which in turn charges the battery bank or supplies directly to the low voltage DC equipment such as laptops and LED lighting system. The inverter converts the stored DC power to high voltage AC for running larger electrical equipment such as washing machines, televisions and kitchen appliances. Typically, the solar power generating system is mounted on a superstructure attached to the land.
