It seems that your supplier is not registered with Central Excise Department as registered importer. However, since ownership and usage will be yours then subject to CENVAT credit Rules, 2004 provisions you may avail the CENVAT credit. Also check with your jurisdictional range officers.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Letter is not valid doc for taking credit under Rule 9 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. You cannot take credit on the strength of Bill of Entry which is not in your name.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

I agree with the views of Sri Kasturi Sir.

[MUKUND THAKKAR]

suggested by Sh.Kasturi Sethiji is 100% right... 

you are not eligible to take cenvat credit..

[YAGAY andSUN]

Since your supplier is providing you with the Bill of Entry, you could be eligible but there was change in law in 2015 which made mandatory for the importer of the goods to get them registered with the Central Excise Department as registered importer if they willing to pass on the CENVAT credit on imported goods sold as such. Due to change in law you are not eligible to avail the CENVAT credit. Issuance of letter are the secondary issues and there is no relevance of such letter that whether it is defined as appropriate document under Rule 9 or not.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

In my view there is valid reason to check whether the letter is a cenvatable document or not as per rule mentioned before availing the credit . Also the passing of credit mechanism by a registered dealer is already in place in the provision. Thanks.

Rule 9 prescribes certain conditions about mention of various parameters which is lacking in your case. He cannot pass on the credit to you. Your name must have been there as consignee

AI Summary

CENVAT Credit Denied for Water Treatment Plant Setup Due to Missing Company Name on Bill of Entry, Rule 9 Applies. A company queried about claiming CENVAT credit for a water treatment plant setup where materials were imported, but the Bill of Entry did not reference their company. Responses indicated that credit cannot be claimed without proper documentation under Rule 9 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. The supplier must be a registered importer to pass on CENVAT credit, a requirement established by a 2015 law change. Despite suggestions to verify if a letter could serve as a valid document, it was concluded that without the company's name on the Bill of Entry, credit cannot be claimed.
