Boss- Kindly forward the relevant extract of service tax act in this respect. We have taken opinion from our expert that in case of liquor industry,cenvat credit would not be applicable.
Would be great helpful if you kindly share the relevant extract/ notification.

That was the provision earlier when no service tax or excise duty payable. In view of budget amendment on applicability of service tax on liquor bottling, as per cenvat credit rules any service tax paid on input service utilized for provision of out put service is eligible for cenvat credit. See cenvat credit rules.
