Under new reverse charge mechanism, service tax is paid partly by service provider and partly service receiver.

For Example Manpower suply Agency is paid only 25 % and balance 75% is paid by the service receiver

My question here is we are eligible to take 100% tax credit or 75 % input credit?

in my knowledge under the reverse charge mechanism service tax input credit is allowed on challan payment basis

in challan we have paid only 75 %

service receipent can avail 100 % credit of input i.e 25% as paid with bill amount and 75% as paid under reverse charge but point of service tax credit will be different.
