CENVAT Credit Distribution Not Required Before Filing ST-3 Return; Must Follow Rule 7 and 7A Guidelines. An individual from a company with a head office in Mumbai sought clarity on whether CENVAT credit must be distributed to manufacturing plants before filing the ST-3 return. The responses clarified that there is no legal requirement to distribute CENVAT credit before filing the ST-3 return, but it should be done within a reasonable time. The credit distributed should not exceed the amount availed by the Input Service Distributor (ISD). Additionally, Rule 7 and 7A of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, outline the distribution process but do not mandate pre-filing distribution. (AI Summary)
