Dear Sir, We have started a private limited company engaged in manufacturing operations. we are paying service tax on freight (GTA) by availing 75% abatement. Is it necessary to obtain a certificate from Transporting Agency that they have not availed cenvat credit? The problem is that the transportation was arranged by our supplier and the supplier is collecting freight from us. The transporter was not known to us. Kindly advise.
