Normally, the credit of the entire tax paid on the service received by the service receiver would be available to the service recipient subject to the provisions of the Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004. The credit of tax paid by the service provider would be available on the basis of the invoice subject to the conditions specified in the Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004.
