My Question is Concern to an Education Society

An Education Society is Constructing a Building it self for office but now it want to make construction of building by a Construction Firm
In this situation Material and Construction costs will remain same but construction firm will charge WCT and Service Tax on cost of construction to Education Society where as in case of Building Construction By Education society it self, there is no need to WCT and Service Tax
Education Society also exempt to pay service tax on Educational Services
My Question is whether any situation is exist where Service Tax or WCT charged by Construction Firm could set off or credit utilised by Education Society

XYZ Ltd receives an input invoice on which service tax is charged. It bonafide makes the payment of Gross bill value to the vendor.

The vendor duly pays the tax to the credit of Govt. in view of Section 73A

However, later it was found that the service on which such tax was charged was not taxable u/s 65(105).

Now will XYZ Ltd be entitled to availed the Cenvat credit of Service tax which it has paid bonafide and which is already deposited with the Govt as Service Tax.
