Excise Duty is levied on Readymade Garments under section 3(2) w.e.f 1st Mar 2011 and section 4(2) says that the provision of this section shall not apply in respect of any excisable goods for which a tariff value has been fixed under sub section (2) of section 3 and Section 4A itself says Place of manufacture instead of place of removal

on the basis of above ground can we claim input service....
