A manufacturer is eligible to take cenvat credit of CVD (additional duty equal to central excise) and SAD equal to 4%  where the goods are used as inputs or capital goods.

Further, on CVD & ON Cess you will get 50% CENVAT credit but on SAD @ 4% you will get full CENVAT credit in the first year itself.
