Cenvat credit of service tax

can u provide the nature of service.

The Service Tax which was not charged and collected in 2012-13 can be paid now and a supplementary invoice issued for collecting the same from the service receiver. The service receiver cannot avail cenvat credit on invoice issued in 2012-13 as they have not availed the cenvat credit within one year from the invoice date. Also, as per your say, amount of Service Tax is not mentioned on the said invoice issued in 2012-13.
