My doubt is " If Transporter collect the Service Tax amount on Transportation of rail/Road from the Service Receipt,Then the Service that S.tax amount Can be eligible for Cenvat Credit or Not.

Please solve my problem.

1.There is no reverse charge on transporation of goods by rail .The service tax collected by the service provider is allowed as cenvat credit to service receiver i.e. you.

2.Though there is reverse charge in case of transporation of goods where 100% service tax is required to be paid by service recipent.A recent judgement has allowed that even where the liability to pay service tax was of service receiver under reverse charge ,but the same has been paid by service provider,then the service receiver shall not be asked to pay the service tax again.So in your case even if transporter collects the Service tax from you,then also the service tax amount is eligible for cenvat credit.
