On freight inward we can avail the service tax modvat or not? And also I want to know that the logistics party can deduct the service tax for surface mode on inward bill or not?

If the freight inward is used in relation to manufacturing excisable goods/ provision of Output services, Cenvat available.
The liability to pay tax on GTA fastens on the person paying the freight, if either the consignee or the consigner is a specified person for the purpose. In this scenario, the customer(logistics party) can deduct the service tax and pay the amount for services to the GTA.
