..... w: 7. It is obvious from the definition of 'input service' as it stood prior to 11.4.201 and after 1.4.2011 that, in the earlier period there was no restriction on use of the input service for construction of building or civil structure used for providing output service.

..... rt at pages 458-459 of the appeal papers, it is clear that this credit has indeed been taken twice on the basis of same document. Ld. Advocate's contention that the documents were really different is devoid of sustainable merit in the wake of clear entries in the chart on P-458 - 459 of appeal papers. Therefore this amount is held to be inadmissible and recoverable. 8. In the light of the foregoing, we pass the following order: (a) We hold that - (i) cenvat credit relating to capital goods/inputs is not admissible. (ii) extended period is not invocable. (iii) Cenvat credit relating to input service is admissible. (iv) Cenvat credit amount of ₹ 2,92,604/- taken on the basis of debit note is admissible .....
