'A' has provided taxable service to 'B'. 'B' in turn has made payment to 'A' as per the agreement (not including service tax), service tax is paid by 'A' on account of payment received from 'B'... 'B' further provides taxable service to 'C' and claims cenvet credit on the "input service" received by him from 'A'. Is it right that 'B' can claim cenvet credit on "input service" received from 'A' without paying the service tax amount to 'A'? kindly advice?
