Cenvat Credit on Capital Goods

[vikas anand]

Dear All,

 

As per Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 capital goods means the goods falling under chapter 82,84, 85 & 90and its components, spares and accessories of goods specified at (i) and (ii).

 

It means, if we procured any components, spares and accessories of goods for the initial goods procured even though it may fall in a different chapter, it is still eligible for Cenvat Credit under the capital goods definition?

 

Please advise...

 

Regards
