Hello Everyone,
Please help me out for resolving my following query.
as per the revised service tax rate no more EDU & SHE is levied on service tax. so mine question is whether cenvat credit of EDU & SHE can be utilised for the payment of basic service tax liability. (EDU & SHE cenvat credit balance pertains to begore March,2015)
Kindly give your valuable feedback through documentary evidence.

1. CENVAT credit of EC/ SHEC paid on inputs/ capital goods received in the premises of the services provider after 31 May, 2015
2. 50% balance credit of EC/ SHEC paid on capital goods received in financial year 2014-15

The amount of Cess lying unutilized in the Cenvat credit account of the manufacturers as on February 28, 2015, can not be utilized against payment of basic duty.
However there is possibility to permit utilization of accumulated credit post GST.
