Cenvat credit on raw materials, work in process and finished goods may be availed, subject to prior intimation to the department.

It is advisable to get a certificate from a Cost accountant regarding the input utilized therein as well as the Value taken into consideration for purpose of calculation of excise duty credit thereon.

You may contact your jurisdictional Range officer for necessary guidance in the matter.
