31 December 2013 Hi,
ST paid under reverse charge for security charges is eligible for CENVAT credit and if the same you are claiming then it should not be debited to P/L account, it should be debited to CENVAT credit a/c and Kept in Balance sheet

1.if we are not claiming the CENVAT CREDIT, is it possible to debit the ST paid to P&L account.

2.is there any condition that the security charges only relates to Production?i.e security charges for office purpose be taken for cenvat credit?

thanking you

1) Yes, If you are not claiming the CENVAT then Debit to P/c account.

2) There is no such condition in rule 2(l) of the cenvat credit rules, so that you can claim the input paid on Security charges
