CENVAT CREDIT

[ASHISH KUMAR]

HELLO ,

WE IMPORTED A MACHINE IN DECEMBER 2015 ( AGAINST ZERO DUTY EPCG SCHEME ). Now we want to surrender our epcg license , after paying all the duty ( customs , excise ) plus Interest

After paying it , we want to take the cenvat credit ( for the excise component ). Is it allowed ? - (we are a manufacturer and registered with excise)

If yes , against which document ( as the Bill of Entry shows zero duty ) ??

[PAWAN KUMAR]

Dear Ashish Ji,

You may claim cenvat of duties (CVD & Addl.Duty) on GAR-7 along with copy of bill of entry supported with the details of custom duty. The details may please be prepared in excel and authenticated.

Sir, if possible should explore the possibility of fulfilling EO. Thanks.

AI Summary

Cenvat credit entitlement: claim duties paid on import via GAR-7 with bill of entry and authenticated duty details. After paying customs and excise duties and interest on a zero-duty EPCG import, cenvat credit of CVD and Additional Duty can be claimed by submitting GAR-7 together with a copy of the bill of entry and authenticated, reconciled details of the customs duty (preferably in excel). Consideration should also be given to fulfilling the EPCG export obligation where possible.
