We want to claim the Cenvat credit for Excise duty paid by us against Service tax payable. Accordingly we filled the necessary details in ST-3.
But the Service Tax Inspector is not accepting the same and seeks following additional details from us: 1. Copies of Invoices for excise paid along with detailed ledger. 2. Copies of earlier return filed (ST-3) 3. Copies of Challan.
Will it be sufficient if we provide the ledger confirmation from the party to whom we are paying excise.
Or is it compulsory to submit copies of invoices along with ST-3.
Also tell me the provisions of the Service tax Rules in this matter.
