In your case you are only Trader not manufacturer so that you cannot utilized the Cenvat credit you can only passed such duty. Further in term of service tax your liability to be raised under RCM and you have to pay service tax only in terms of cash and bank and utilized the same further payment of exclude RCM. If having you other observation plz forward the same.

Dear Ankush Pagaria,

If your a service provider and using the imported inputs for providing output taxable service then CVD can be availed as credit.

SAD 4% cannot be availed by Service Providers.

Further, if that service providers himself, if he is doing trading on imported inputs, then the credit cannot be availed and utilized.

And if he wants to pass on the credit , he needs to obtain registration under Central Excise as a Dealer.

Thanks.
