26 June 2008 No connection between VAT, CST and Service Tax except in only one case relevant to Works Contractors. Hence you cannot, emphatically, claim any credit under Cenvat Credit Rules nor refund from Service Tax department.

Also please stop using the "input credit" for service tax. It should be called as "Cenvat Credit on inputs/input services". May be corrected from your end.
Hope you are satisfied with above.
