Set off of service tax payable with excise duty

33% option is under Not.1/2006 where NO credit is available.

Builder can opt for any one methodology for each project. Same project under Not.1/2006 and then changing to compostion @ 4.12% is not possible.

either abatement ( composition scheme) or cenvat credit can be availed, 

both is not available at same time.

If abatement is opted, no cenvat credit is admissible. If composition is opted, credit of input services and capital goods are available. If you want credit of  construction materials, you have to pay service tax @ 10.3 % of the gross contract amount including materials.
