	Dear shobhit
	cst is levied on inter state sales..
	as per the cst rules , cst cannot be deducted from Input tax credit........
	 
	However in case if the input tax credit = 100 and vat payable on sales made = 90 and cst = 20
	so 
	u have a refund ( excess input tax credit ) of Rs.10 ( 100 - 90 ) which can be utilised to set off the cst liability ... so net cst liability = 10
	( 20 - 10)
	 
	cst payable can be adjusted against input tax credit only when there is excess input tax credit 
	( refund )
	 
	Ok.....
