Where a taxpayer collected service tax but filed nil returns and failed to deposit amounts with the exchequer, the text treats such suppression of facts and documents as establishing intent to evade tax, justifying denial of CENVAT credit for lack of documentation and lack of clean hands.

Reliance on bona fide belief defenses is rejected where tax was collected and not remitted.
