Excise duty adjustment not allowed: excise duty on project purchases cannot be set off against service tax for erection and commissioning.
Excise duty paid on purchases for a specific project site cannot be adjusted against Service Tax liability for erection and commissioning services; no notification or circular permitting such cross-adjustment was identified, and the taxes must be treated as distinct, non-inter-settled obligations.
