Issues: Whether credit on services received for erection, commissioning and installation of structural supports, platform, staircase, shed and similar items was inadmissible under the exclusion clause in Rule 2(1) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.
Analysis: The dispute turned on the scope of the exclusion in clause (A) of Rule 2(1), which denies credit for service portions in works contract and construction services used for construction of a building or civil structure or for laying foundation or making structures for support of capital goods. The services in question were classified as erection, commissioning and installation service. That service category was not covered by the exclusion clause relied on by the authorities below, and therefore the credit could not be denied on that basis.
Conclusion: The denial of Cenvat credit was unsustainable and the credit was admissible to the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the appeal succeeded on merits.
Ratio Decidendi: A service expressly falling within erection, commissioning and installation is not covered by an exclusion clause confined to works contract and construction services, unless it is shown to fall squarely within the excluded category.
