26 August 2011 i have already availed & utilised full cenvat credit during last five years i.e. from 2006 to 2011. We are performing trading as well as provision for service activities. During EA 2000 the auditor has disallowed input credit of ST in proportion of trading & provision for services activities for dis allowance of expense related to trading activity. Please suggest action is tenable by law.

17 September 2011 Regarding query on reversal of cenvat credit on trading activity, Please note that it is added in the defintion of "exempted service" from this budget. But the CBEC has clarified in its circular that it has retrospective effect. Furthermore, there are certain tribunal decisions supporting the reversal of cenvat credit on trading activity.
