No. In case you are maintaining books of A/c and it is possible to segrgate the input service for exempted as well as taxable goods then utilise only for taxable services.
In case you are not maintaining books of A/c or not possible to segregate, then you have 2 options:
One - the provider of output service can avail common CENVAT credit and pay service tax equivalent to 8% of the value of exempted services.
The other option is that the provider of output service can avail common CENVAT credit and pay an amount equivalent to CENVAT credit attributable to input goods and services consume in relation to the provision of exempted services.
This is as per CENVAT CREDIT RULES 2004
