20 February 2016 Under the CENVAT Credit Rules - CENVAT input comprises of Central Excise, Service Tax, CVD component of Customs Duty paid - and the input so availed can be used for paying off Central Excise and Service Tax liabilites payable by the assessee.

Hence it is not possible claim CST payments on purchases made as CENVAT Input Credit.
