Therefore, entire disallowance does not call for any decision in favour of Revenue. As an abundant caution, to make sure that the mathematical exercise is properly made by the appellant for allocation of credit rationally, the matter is remitted to the Adjudicating Authority to a limited extent to examine the allocation of the credit received by the appellant through departments in Table-C and allocable to departments in Table-A in the manner the appellant has carried out. Appellant's averment that the credit of ₹ 6,66,423/- allocated to the department in Table-B is reversed needs to be examined. - Matter remanded back for limited purpose - Decided in favor of assessee. - Appeal No.ST/645/2010 - Final Order No.40058/2016 - Dated:- 8-1-2016 - SHRI D.N. PANDA, JUDICIAL MEMBER AND SHRI R. PERIASAMI, TECHNICAL MEMBER For the Petitioner : Shri Raghavan Ramabadran, Advocate For the Respondent : Shri K. Veerabadhra Reddy, JC (AR) ORDER PER D.N. PANDA The precise question that has been raised in this appeal is whether the cenvat credit of service tax paid on input services availed by service .....

Appellant submits that so far as the extent of input service credit earned by Table-C departments is concerned when that was allocated to the departments in Table-A that has been questioned by the Revenue on the ground that part of the input credit of departments in Table-C was also allocated to department in Table-B. Appellant is not entitled to the cenvat credit claimed by it since Table-B department provide exempted service. Appellant explains that the input credit earned by the departments in Table-C was allocated to the Departments in Table-A B on the ratio of the turnover. However, the cenvat credit allocated to the Departments-C was reversed which is undeniable as is apparent from para-12 of the adjudication order. 5. On the aforesaid factual premise, appellant's submission is that when the records clearly demarcated the extent of credit allocable to departments in Table-A and Table-B that ought to have been verified by the Revenue before questioning. But that was not done. Entire cenvat credit earned genuinely by Departments in Table-C were disallowed without bringing any cogent evidence to demonstrate that those services were not relevant.
