Dear Experts.

Our  Vendor ( For Job-work) is charging CST on material cost &  Service Tax  on Both ( Material + Labour ) in the same invoice. While questioning they replied that, the material they have utilized was cenvatable and that's why it will attract service Tax . Can anyone Suggest me whether service Tax is applicable on material cost ? No doubt we are taking credit on it but it effects our funds application.
