AI Summary

Applicability of Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules when capital goods are cleared under SHIS using duty scrips. Whether the applicability of Rule 6 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 is affected when capital goods are cleared under the SHIS scheme using duty credit scrips: CBEC Notification permits use of SHIS scrips to discharge excise at clearance by the licensee, so goods may be cleared without direct excise payment while duty is debited via scrips; the issue is whether Rule 6's requirements and Cenvat consequences are thereby engaged or displaced. A cited judgment on a different scheme (SFIS) was offered as comparative guidance.
