Dear Sirs, As per Serial No. 233 (1) of Notification No. 12/2012 - CE dated 17.03.2012, condition No. 23, we have received certificate from Collector & District Magistrate Khordha. As per column 4 in said notification, duty is Nil. Please confirm whether we have to reverse 6% cenvat credit on value, as we are unable to maintain separate record.

If your supplies are against any one the clause as described above, then you need not to pay an amount @ 6% otherwise you are required to reverse the amount.

Sir,

It appears that the goods are to be cleared for use in the setting up of a water treatment plant.

Hence, 6 % reversal shall be required to be made, subject to the provisions of rule 6 (6) of CCR, 2004, as detailed above.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Sh.Mahir S.

Yes. Serial No. 233 (1) of Notification No. 12/2012 - CE dated 17.03.2012 talks of machinery to be set up for water treatment only. This object does not find place in this notification. Also thanks to M/s.YAGAY and SUN for thought provoking idea as well as information.

[Mahir S]

Exactly Right, Sir.
