The activity of digging well (digging of water sources) is covered under the main definition of 'Site Formation and Clearance, Excavation, Earth moving and Demolition Services' under the erstwhile Sections 65(105)(zzza) and 65(97a) of the Finance Act but excluded due to Exclusion clause- hence it was not chargeable to Service Tax prior to 1.7.2012.

After 1.7.12, it is exempted only if this service is provided to Govt., local authority or Govt. authority for irrigation purpose. (Notification No.25/12-ST dated 20.6.12 as amended Serial No.12 (d)} You have provided service to private business entity and it is not for irrigation purpose. Hence not eligible for exemption.
