Issues: Whether Cenvat credit on capital goods was admissible with reference to the date of receipt of the capital goods in the factory when the final product became exempt only thereafter.
Analysis: Rule 3 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2002 allowed credit on inputs or capital goods received in the factory, and the settled position was that entitlement to capital goods credit had to be tested on the date of receipt, not on the date of installation or on subsequent changes in the duty status of final products. The capital goods were received when the final product was still being cleared on payment of duty, and the later exemption from 9-7-2004 did not defeat credit already earned on receipt of the machine. The fact that the credit was utilised for duty payment and that some clearances later became exempt could not justify disallowance, reversal, or penalty.
Conclusion: The credit was admissible and the disallowance, demand for reversal, and penalty were unsustainable, so the decision was in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The assessee's entitlement to capital goods credit was upheld on the basis of the receipt date, and the adverse order was set aside.
Ratio Decidendi: Eligibility for capital goods credit under the Cenvat scheme is determined by the date of receipt of the goods in the factory, and a subsequent exemption of the final product does not nullify credit validly earned earlier.
