06 October 2009 As per the law, credit can be taken only on the strength of an invoice raised in terms of Rule 4A of the Cenvat Credit Rules.

If the service provider raises a bill/invoice for the advance amount, credit can be taken.

06 October 2009 My query is something else, e.g.,

Adv Payment = Rs 1,000
Invoice Value = Rs (600+60=660)or (1100+110=1210)

Whether the credit of Rs 60 or 110 can be taken. Conidering the fact no clearing entry has been passed in SAP.

06 October 2009 Dear Sandeep,

I am confused with your query. Further, clearing entry in SAP is a technical/internal matter and I am not competent answer.

An hypothetical example is given. Advance paid Rs. 1000, final amount Rs. 2000.

two bills can be raised by the service provider.

1. Bill Amt = Rs. 906.00
ST = Rs. 94.00
Total = Rs. 1000.00

2. Bill Amt = Rs. 2000.00
Less Adv. =Rs. 906.00
Balance = Rs. 1094.00
ST = Rs. 112.00
Total = Rs. 1206.00

on retirement of respective bills take credit of Rs. 94 & Rs. 112 as the case may be.

There can be other solution as well. Let us wait for more opinion.
