The definition of the Input service is drafted widely. It covers almost each and every service whether relating to the business or not right from the setting up , modernization , renovation,or repairs of factory premises to the inward transportation of inputs or capital goods and outward transportation upto the place of removal.
However, as the definition of the word place of removal has been slightly amended and the CENVAT Credit in respect of the outward Transportation is subjec to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Usually, the dept. officials object as to the eligibility of the Cenvat credit in respect of the service tax paid , their plea being that the same is not related to the business operations .
However, there is no need to afraid of, and the manufacturers and service providers has to blindly take the service tax credit without asking to any dept official.

Kindly clarify , are u a service Provider.According to me If u are charging the service tax in your Invoice, then if u are maintaining the A/c on Mercantile Accounting System, the following entry will be reflected.
Party A/c Dr. (Full value incl. S.T) To S.t. Payable To Income (Service Name)
Hence, from the point of view of A/c the liability is of the respective yer. However, as far as the ST Deposit is concerended, the same is to be paid only in case of the receipt of the payment from the client.
