for further supply of works contract service;
(d) goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of
an immovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account
including when such goods or services or both are used in the course or
furtherance of business
Explanation.''For the purposes of clauses (c) and (d), the expression
'construction' includes re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or
repairs, to the extent of capitalisation, to the said immovable property
So credit of repair etc is available if the amount is not capitalized
