uthority are that event is for giving awards/rewards to their own employees, hence question of allowing credit does not arise. 7. On careful consideration of the submissions made, I find that service tax payment by service provider under the category 'Event Management Services' for the period April 2005 to August 2009 is not disputed. dt is also not disputed that cenvat credit availed by appellant for this period is based upon the invoices raised by their Head Office as an ISD. In my view, since the Event Management Services have organised an event for the appellant's brand Essar Steel , Cenvat Credit availed by them and subsequently distributed to other units as also to this unit seems to be in consonance with the law. The findings of the Tribunal in the case of Castrol India Limited (supra) regarding the eligibility to avail Cenvat Credit on the said services is very clear which I reproduce: 11.
