28 July 2016 Dear All,

Recently we have received our first MEIS scrip from the authority .

I understand that this scrip can be used only against the Excise duty payable on domestic procurement , Customs Duty & Service Tax.

Please confirm that this scrip can not be used against excise duty payable on the sale of goods.

Can we sale the scrip ?

Further , if we use it against payment of service tax what shall be the procedure for the validation of scrip.

If we settle the service tax liability against the scrip can we take CENVAT credit for the said service tax paid through scrip.

Please reply.

Regards,
