Dear Sir,
If Assessee have CENVAT balance in Education Cess & SHEC as on date.
As per notification 12/2015 CE(NT)
'Provided also that the credit of Education Cess and Secondary and Higher Education Cess paid on input services received by the manufacturer of final product on or after the 1st day of March, 2015 can be utilized for payment of the duty of excise specified in the First Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act.'
There are restriction of dates and not clarity for credit taken before 1st March.
Now in GST scenario can we transfer for use this balance if we are showing in return ?
