Can Service Tax on GTA be paid from your excise cenvat credit?

You are a manufacturer. You engage the services of Goods Transport Agency for your inward and outward transport and as a recipient of service, you are by law required to pay Service Tax. Now can you pay this Service Tax from your cenvat credit account?

Please send me your answer by tonight and tomorrow we will tell you what the Tribunal thinks.
