We are manufacturing drugs and paying excise duty. We missed to avail service tax input for the year 2013-14 and 2014-15. We had availed upto 2012-13. Since the time limit is fixed as 6 months and 1 year in 2014 and 2015 budget respectively, we could claim service tax input only from June 2014. Since it is a huge sum, we are willing to avail.Is there any option to claim input from April 2013 to May 2014?

Now, with extension of time limit for availment of Cenvat credit from 6 months to 1 year w.e.f 1st March, 2015, the same issue may still crop up again as to whether the Assessee would be eligible avail Cenvat credit on Invoices issued prior to March 1, 2015 for which time period of 6 months expired but 1 year period is open on March 1, 2015.
