Milk, salt and food grain including flours, pulses and rice;” are fully exempted vide Notification No.25/12-ST as amended vide Notification No.6/15-ST dated 1.3.15. (Already replied to your query.) Regarding other items of military canteen, exemption from Service Tax is available only if you prove that it is self-service. No such exemption for welfare of public etc. as mentioned by you, is available.
