Clarity on the points as per GST faqs

[Asked by Guest]

Dear Sir,

Request you to please provide clarity as per GST faqs on the below mentioned point.

1)The excise duty is paid on the stock of finished goods lying in the branches. There are many products like pharmaceutical products, paints, cosmetics, etc. which are cleared from the factory on payment of duty to the branches/godown. All these stocks will attract GST after 01/04/2017, any provision has been made to permit the credit of excise duty paid on these stocks.

As per GST Faqs, request you to please advise on the following points also:

1)Un-availed CENVAT credit on capital goods, not carried forward in a return, to be allowed in certain situations

2)Credit of eligible duties and taxes in respect of inputs held in stock to be allowed in certain situations

3)Credit of eligible duties and taxes on inputs held in stock to be allowed to a taxable person switching over from composition scheme.

Thanks and Regards.
