14 September 2013 You can only utilise the credit which were available when the payment was "DUE" to be paid.

If you were liable to pay any ST in 2008, which you are paying now, then you need to check credit avvailable as on 2008.
Credit available as on Mar 2013 will be availbale for any tax due from April 2013 onwards.
