that appellant providing labour and which falls under ‘Manpower Recruitment Agency Services', accordingly  they  are  liable  to  pay  Service  Tax  for  the  period  2007­08  and  2008­09.  The Adjudicating  Authority  has  confirmed  the  demand  and  imposed  penalty.  Aggrieved  by  the  said Adjudication  order  appellant  filed  appeal  before  the  Commissioner  (Appeals)  who  upheld  the Order­in­Original by passing the impugned order therefore appellant is before us. 3. Ms. Padmavati Patil, ld. Counsel for the appellant submits that they deputed the manpower to carry out the job work on the basis of quantum of production on the material supplied by their client. The payment for the labourers is not made towards salary/wages on the basis of number of  labourers,  payment  is  made  on  the  basis  of  quantum  of  production  carried  out  by  the  job worker,  therefore  they  are  not  providing  man  power.  They  are  only  carrying  out  job  work  for their  client.  The  activity  is  amount  to  manufacture  which  is  excluded  from  the  provisions  of Service  tax  under  the  head  of  ‘Business  Auxiliary  Services'  on  behalf  of  the  client.  She  also submits that in any case the job work on the material supplied by the client is exempted service by virtue Notification No. 8/2005­ST  dated 1/3/2005. In support of her submission, she  placed reliance  on  the  judgments  in  case  of  Hemant  V.  Deshmukh  vs.  Commissioner  of  C.Ex,  Goa (2014(35) STR 602 (Tri. Mumbai)] = 2014­TIOL­1052­CESTAT­MUM. 4. On the other hand, Shri S.l. Karoliya, Ld. Asstt. Commissioner (A.R.) appearing on behalf of the Revenue reiterates the findings of the impugned order. 5. We have carefully considered submissions made by both sides. 6. The undisputed fact in this case is that appellant has carried out job work on behalf of their client  i.e.  conversion  of  Aluminum  Ingots  to  Aluminum  Castings.  The  charges  for  the  job  work are based on the quantum of production and not against supply of manpower. Therefore activity remains as production on behalf of the client in the factory of the client. In this fact though the appellant  was  deputing  the  manpower  but  services  which  carried  out  were  job  work  in  the client's factory, the said activity amounts to manufacture, hence, does not fall under category of Manpower Recruitment Services. Since activity of the appellant amounting to manufacture of the goods, even it is not covered under Business Auxiliary Services, as Manufacturing activity stands excluded in the definition to Business Auxiliary Services. We also agree with the ld. Counsel that if  it  is  considered  as  taxable  activity,  the  same  is  exempted  under  Notification  No.  8/2005­ST dated 1/3/2005. On going through judgment cited by the Ld. Counsel, we find that the ratio of the  judgment  squarely  applicable  to  the  facts  of  the  present  case.  In  view  of  the  above discussions,  we  set  aside  the  impugned  order  and  allow  the  appeal  of  the  appellant  with consequential relief, if any, in accordance with law.
