we  have study the circular of railway department dt 28.09.2012, wherein service tax is applicable but my questation is that on procuring of coal ihorugh rail, service tax is applicable or not, because i had received RR in which service tax amount collected is not mentioned seperately.

Therefore we  need clarification weather the service tax applicable or not, if applicable, then on the basis of RR are we entitle for taking service tax credit or any other docs required.

We shall be thankful for valuable information.

 

Thanks & regards

Sir,

We are receiving Iron Ore CLO from Bacheli (M.P.) through Railway Rake. Presently we take colour Xerox  of RR and port railways stamped as Original received /submitted at destination and then the same is notarized. We take Service Tax credit on the strength of colour notarized RR copy. 

Regards,
