Yes the same in my view was always available. But with effect from 10.9.2004 the same is available. Recently there is a circular hwich clarifies this position. The condition is that it should be used by a manufacturer in or in relation to manufacture or clearacne of goods and for the taxable service provider USED FOR PROVDING THE TAXABLE SERVCIES. This means that for a servci eprovider the nexus should be near for a manufacturer the scope of credit is much larger.
