Sir, my client he is not paying RCM liability for more than 6 months.he is showing the input portion in assets and liability in current liabilities, is input can be claimed if he paid now

Dear Ravi Ji, As under the RCM, input will be available only after payment of applicable service tax.As your client is not discharging his liability for more than six months but he is now paying the full liability along with interest, Input can be claimed as the service relates prior to the amendment in rules 4(7) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 effective from 01.09.2014. Invoice issued after this 01.09.2014 will eligible for the amendments. Invoice issued prior to this date will out of the purview of this amendment as per my view. Therefore you need to pay the entire liability along with interest and take the claim as cenvat credit.
