01 March 2008 Clarifying your points as under

1. No there is no provision for setting off your liability against the cenvat credit, it has to be paid through GAR7 challan only.

2. Yes you can take the input credit, once it has been paid and can be utilised against Excise duty / service tax payable by you

The valuation rules are amply clear in this respect a fair reading will solve your inquiry at your end

03 March 2008 But I have heard that by notification no. 11/2006, Govertment has withdrawn this from output service , therefore onward we can not take cenvat of the same. Is it correct. What is the current status?

05 March 2008 The withdrawal means that you cannot pay this service tax from the cenvat credit and has to be paid through GAR 7 and only when you have paid you can take the credit

go ahead take the credit once you have paid through GAR 7 challan
