With effect from Finance Bill 2011, definition of Input Service has been changed. Hence the travel benefits extended to employees primarily used for personal purpose or consumption of any employee, is excluded from the definition of Service Tax. Hence the Cenvat Credit would not be available on the said part explained if of such nature

Sir,

You can avail the CENVAT  Credit under the current CENVAT rules in case you are able to justify and proove that the said foregin travel is connected to the business / business promotion of the organisation you are working for.

thanks,
