Hereโs a clear summary based on your scenario about **service tax (Cenvat) credit missed in a return already filed**:
---
### Can you take Cenvat Credit for previous months without revising the return?
* **Generally, no.** Once the return for a particular period is filed without claiming Cenvat credit, you **cannot claim that credit in subsequent returns without revising the earlier return.**
* **Revised Return:** You are allowed to file a **revised service tax return within 90 days** from the date of filing the original return to claim any missed credits or correct errors. This is the proper way to claim missed input credit for a particular period.
* **If 90 days have passed:** If the 90-day window has lapsed, you **cannot revise that return**. In that case, unfortunately, you cannot claim the missed credit later.
---
### Practical points:
* For your case where credit for February was missed and return for April is filed,
* If you are **within 90 days from the filing date of February return**, you can file a **revised February return** to claim the credit. * If the 90 days are over, the credit is lost for that period.
* You **cannot claim missed credit of February in April or later returns without revision.**

### Reference for time limits:
* Rule 6(4) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 * Circulars and clarifications on revised return timelines

If you want, I can help draft a letter/email for revising the return or help with detailed steps. Would you like that?
