AI Summary

Cenvat credit time limit: delayed invoice receipt does not extend claim period beyond statutory six months from invoice date.
Advisory response: under the six month limitation measured from the invoice date, the opportunity to take input credit in the described fact pattern is confined to the end of the six month period from the invoice date, such that credit may be availed only up to the day before the completion of that six month period (advised as 11.10.2014 for the stated dates).
