16 June 2008 Dear Gajendra,

Cenvat for service tax is governed by CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 whereas Cenvat for Vat is governed by various state VAT laws.They are altogether different legislatures.

Hence, VAT credit cannot be utilized for the payment of any service tax liability.

Regards,

Ajay Gumbar.
