No they cannot set-off. The liability arose earlier in the month of November, but the credit developed in December. One cannot set-off credit in a back date. Hence, not adjustible since Company has to make payments on a monthly basis.

It has to be paid by cash/on line payment.  cenvat credit can be adjusted for dec output tax.  The late payment of rs.3000 attracts interest @ 18% also, which please note.
