Dear Mr Sathis,
If you know VAT input credit of any state, then it is easy to explain to you about Service Tax input tax credit.
The Service tax output tax payer (assessee) can claim input credit of all his input services and adjust the same in the output tax. Here, cross utilisation of service is also possible. Cross utilisation means, input on capital goods, and input on Central Excise can be taken on eligible service/goods.
For E.g Photography service, or Authorised Service station service: In these cases, capital goods is compulsory to get the works done to pay the service tax on the output service. So, the service tax assessee can adjust the Excise Duty of service paid on the input and deduct the said amount while paying the out put tax.
I hope this will suffice your question.
regards,

Input service means any service used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service. Output service tax is the service tax charged by provider of taxable service on his bill. The output service provider can utilize the service tax on input services and pay the balance amount.

Dear Mr. Balkishan,
From the above query of yours, it seems that the service tax paid on your mainteance charges is not directly related to your output mainteance charges billed to your customers. i.e. it is not being purchased by you for the purpose of selling. In that case you can adjust your output service tax liabiltiy with the Cenvat credit & the balance has to be carry forward.
But if the mainteance charges provided by others to you is directly being sold for example A billed to your the site no XYZ mainteance charges of Rs 1103/- & you billed the same to your customer as Mainteance charges for the site XYZ Rs 882.40 in that case, you cannot carry forward the Cenvat credit to the next month. Since as per the service tax/Excise law, the free goods or services is also liable for the levy of svc tx or excise & at the time of preparing your ST-3 return you have to mention the billing amt as Rs 800 & in the next row or colum for Value equalent to consideration of money the balance of your cost (1000-800) to be filled i.e. Rs 200/- & the service tax liability has to be show as 103 which can be paid through your Cenvat.
Just chk the ST-3 return you will find the column.

Mr Balakrishnan,
The excess of CENVAT Credit will not be paid in cash except in the case of the Exporters or service provided to SEZ etc., For that there is a claim form to be submitted to the department.
In your case, this month excess can be carried forward to the next month. The idea behind allowing set off to the assessee is to pay output tax on your margin. So, in any case, normally, there cannot be continous excess credit available for the assessee. There are restriction to avail the CENVAT credit as the definition for INPUT Tax is changed from this financial year. One has to refer the rule and its definition before availing the Input tax credit.
