27 August 2013 Any amount payable under RCM has to be paid in cash. payment from CENVAT credit in case of RCM is not allowed.

CENVAT credit is available against the amount paid under RCM which can be utilised for payment of service tax payable as provider of service

28 August 2013 I looks that the it the person who is providing the service and raised the bills for Rs. 10 lakh. He is required to pay service tax on Rs. 3,00,000 @ 6%.18%. He can adjust the credit of CENVAT.

But, The recipient of service or to whom this contractor billed Rs. 10 lakh has to pay 6.18% of 3 lakh in cash only
