Refund of Input Tax Credit

You can claim refund. But it is a very clumsy and painstaking procedure. Read rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules. There is a Form called Form A. File it with Dept.

I wish other members will also share their thoughts on this.

Only service provider and manufacturer can take cenvat credit on input service. now your client is not providing any services, they can not claim cenvat credit on input service after December 2010.
