Dear Sunny,

CenVAT credit can be availed by both manufacturer & service provider. CenVAT Credit Rules 2004 applies both to manufacturer 7 service provider.

Rule 3 of CenVAT credit Rules 2004 clear states as follows

3. CENVAT credit.  -

(1) A manufacturer or producer of final products or a provider of taxable service shall be allowed to take credit (hereinafter referred to as the CENVAT credit) of -

(i) the duty of excise specified in the First Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act, leviable under the Excise Act;

(ii) the duty of excise specified in the Second Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act, leviable under the Excise Act;........... ( very big section, only portion relevant to you produced here)


paid on-

(i) any input or capital goods received in the factory of manufacture of final product or premises of the provider of output service on or after the 10th day of September, 2004; and


(ii) any input service received by the manufacturer of final product or by the provider of output services on or after the 10th day of September, 2004,
