Question :

16 April 2009 In normal terms provision is for the gross amount inclusive of taxes

Credit will be eligible only when the amount is paid and not on the provision,

You can take the credit but you cannot utilise unless payment has been made and realised by the provider.

It will appear under provision set off of service tax and utilisation only after payment is made.
