19 March 2009 Dear Experts,

Could you clarify the CVD paid on imported inputs used for providing output sevice only not involving any manufacturing, the credit eligible for input cenvat Credit. As per Cenvat Credit Rules no credit will be available if final product exempt from exise duty or if there is no manufacturing of the goods.

If eligible give provisions of the act with referecne of section/rule

Thanks in advance
