16 August 2012 It can be taken @100% in the year of expenditure incurred. It has to be assured that credit taken amount has to be reduced from the amount of capitalisation.

16 August 2012 50%- 50% is only for cenvat credit of excise duty and not for service tax.

Even if you book it as capital goods it will be considered as input service only and 100% credit will e allowed in the current year only.
