HELD THAT:- In the instant case applicant is engaged in printing the content supplied by the recipient using their own physical inputs like paper, ink etc. Since there is involvement of rights in the question paper booklets printed and they cannot be supplied to anyone else and the confidentiality clauses of the contract are all involved, the same is to be treated as Composite supply with the supply of services being the principal supply - Therefore the supply made by the applicant shall qualify to be treated as a composite supply where the principal supply is the supply of service. Therefore their supply would not constitute a supply of goods. Such supplies would constitute supply of service falling under heading 9989 of the scheme of classification of services. Whether their supply is covered under the SAC 9992 which is related to Education Services and hence covered under the Entry No. 66 of the Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017? - HELD THAT:- There may be several services relating to the conduct of examination like invigilation, distribution of question papers, collection of answer sheets, assessment of answer sheets, printing of question papers etc. Therefore the ambit of the services relating to conduct of examination includes services of printing of question papers also. Therefore the services supplied by the applicant are covered under the scope of SI. 66 of Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017. The heading 9992 given in SI. No. 66 is only indicative and it does not impact the inclusion of the supply by the applicant from the entry at SI. No. 66.
