It is amazing to see that you raised good queries covering various issues relating to central excise and cenvat credit. Regarding this query, as long as goods remain within the factory premises, despite the order has been cancelled and finished goods are dismantled to manufacture different items, there is no need to reverse the cenvat credit availed originally. However, if the new goods, to be manufactured after dismantling the original manufactured goods, are exempt from excise duty, then you need to reverse the cenvat credit or apply rule 6 as the case may be.

AI Summary

Cenvat credit: no reversal if goods remain in factory and are reused for dutiable manufacture; reverse if resulting goods are exempt.
If bespoke equipment remains within factory premises and is dismantled and reused to make different dutiable goods, no reversal of CENVAT credit is required; if the goods produced after dismantling are exempt from excise duty, the manufacturer must reverse CENVAT credit or apply Rule 6 as appropriate.
