Dear Sir,

Our excise duty calculation is as follows

MRP                                             500

less abatement @ 35%                175

Net MRP                                       325

Excise duty                                Rs.16.74

( @ 5.15% on 325)

Service tax input credit

Taxable Services                         100

service tax on 100

(100*50%*10.3%)                        5.15

Total Invocie Value                    105.15

My question is whether we can claim Rs.5.15 as cenvat and can make payment of difference of Rs.11.59 as excise duty?

Pls explain the concept of service tax cenvat abatement.
