We are taking CENVAT credit on Input, Capital Goods & Input services. In terms of Rule 9(7) of Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004, every assessee has to file CENVAT Returns to the office of the Superintendent, Central Excise, Range on or before 10th of every month. Kindly let us know whether this is still mandetory as per the Rule or there is any change in the Rule subsequently, as our Excise Range officers are now not accepting these Returns.

Debate on Rule 9(7) of Cenvat Credit Rules: CENVAT returns must be filed electronically; audit officers to verify. A discussion on the requirement to file CENVAT returns under Rule 9(7) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004, highlighted confusion over whether these returns remain mandatory, as some Excise Range officers are not accepting them. One participant clarified that the responsibility for checking CENVAT returns now lies with audit officers, not Range officers, who will address any errors during audits. Another confirmed that the rule is still in force and that the CENVAT return is part of the ER-1 return, which must be filed electronically by the 10th of each month. (AI Summary)
