You will not be paying any excise duty on this material to claim cenvat credit. It is only the oil companies can claim cenvat credit on excise duty paid. They are only liable to pay service tax under RCM if transportation charges is paid by them. No service tax payable if transportation is arranged through transport contractors who don't issue consignment note.
