Can a service provider claim cenvat credit on excise duty paid on electricity bill in service tax return? if yes, how?

I want to know weather a service provider can claim CENVAT tax Credit on excise duty paid on electricity bill or not. If yes, how? As the company is only providing services and not dealing in manufacture/produce of any kind of material. Can a organisation claim excise duty paid on electricity in service tax return likewise input tax credit on VAT or not. Please explain in detail.

Hi Jai, there is no Central excise duty on electicity, it is the state which levied electricity duty or tax on the electricity which is not specified as eligible tax/duty to be claimed as CENVAT under rule 3(1) of Cenvat Credit Rule 2004. So this electicity duty paid will not be available as credit.
