CENVAT credit availability depends on authorised invoice documentation, not solely on the transporter's duplicate copy; originals preferred.
CENVAT credit is claimable on the basis of authorised invoices, challans and specified certificates and is not confined expressly to the transporter's duplicate copy; if original or duplicate is missing, a taxpayer may obtain a triplicate from the supplier or rely on other admissible documents, but photocopies are contestable and auditors may insist on original/duplicate, so a conservative approach-preserve originals, secure supplier triplicate, or lodge FIR if lost-is advised to satisfy the authority.
