If you are a manufacturer of garments, you can take cenvat credit of the said service tax and claim refund under Rule 5 of the CCR. Otherwise it does not qualifiry refund under Noti.17/2009.

There is no excise duty on export of goods subject to procedures. But cenvat credit is admissible on the manpower supply service as it is an input service for manufacture of garments. This credit is refundable under Rule 5 of the CCR. Pl. discuss with your Asst. Commissioner.
