19 October 2013 Dear Mr. Patil,

“input service” means any service,
-
(i)used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service; or
(ii)used by a manufacturer, whether directly or indirectly, in or in relation to the manufacture of final products and clearance of final products upto the place of removal,

Also in Circular No.943/04/2011-CX dated 29.04.2011, at point (6) it has been clarified that cenvat on input services used exclusively for trading cannot is not admissible.

CHA Services are for clearing goods which are traded. Hence the Cenvat would be inadmissible.

That means whatever amount we have paid at the time of clearing goods that is cost of purchase and such CHA service Invoice benefit we can not take as Service input
