Registration under central excise not required for availing credit for registered service provider since the ST credit was subsumed into cnevat credit from 2004. Input defintion clearly states- inputs used in providing the service. spares are used in providing the AMC service.
Yes you can avail the credit provided that you do not cliam any abatement and pay ST on the gross amount.
