Cenvat credit on E1 purchase

[Rk Govindan]

We have purchased material from  a customer at Ahmedabad, through one of their Bangalore agent  under E1 sale. We have received invoice copies of  Ahmedabad customer to  their bangalore agent with all taxes applicable and another invoice copy from bangalore agent to our favor with applicable 12.36 percent excise duty.

Please let us know whether we can avail CENVAT credit based on our dealer’s E1 sale ' Duplicate' for transporter' invoice.

As per my view, you may avail cenvat credit on the same but it should be supported with original copy on which excise duty was paid.

Yes, you may avail CENVAT credit on goods purchase under Interstate Sale (E-I/E-II transactions) under CST Act, 1956

Credit can be taken only if the Bangalore Agent is registered under Central Excise in the capacity of "First Stage Dealer or Second Stage Dealer" and invoice is issued by him under the provision of Rule 11 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002.
