..... dit taken on common input services. This is also evident from other two factors, namely, "M", "N" which provides for taking into account, the total of the value of services provided and the total value of goods manufactured. The same principle applies in the case of determination of provisional credit required to be reversed every month. If the appellant had chosen not to avail Cenvat Credit on common input services, the liability would have been only ₹ 2.07 crore and inasmuch as the appellant has already reversed an amount of ₹ 62 lakhs (approximately), we direct the appellant to make a pre deposit of ₹ 1.40 crore within a period of eight weeks and report compliance by 18/09/2014. On such compliance, pre deposit of the balance of dues adjudged against the appellant shall stand waived and recovery thereof stayed during the pendency of the appeal - Partial stay granted. - Appeal No.E/86112/14 - Stay Order No. S/459/2014-WZB/C-II(EB) - Dated:- 18-7-2014 - P R Chandrasekharan and Anil Choudhary, JJ.

Therefore, the balance of credit required to be reversed by the appellant would be only ₹ 16,42,527/- and therefore, stay be granted subject to pre deposit of this amount. He also relies on the decision of this Tribunal in the case of Sify Technologies Ltd., Vs. CCE ST (LTU) Chennai - ST/184/2012 wherein also a similar issue was considered and stay was granted. He also relies on the decision of this Tribunal in the case of MIRC Electronics Ltd. Vs. CCE, Thane - E/635/2012 in support of his contentions. 3.
