CENVAT CREDIT ON CAPITAL GOODS -, Central Excise

[sanjeev jadhav]

Dear Sir,

We are manufacturer of Castings falling under chapter 73 of Central Excise Tariff Act 1985. Recently their is change in definition of Input. i.e. Input includes capital goods having value less than ₹ 10000/- Per Pc. Here wording is Per Piece. But some of capital goods we are getting on per Kgs. basis.

For example Refractory material falling under chapter 38160000 is getting to us on per Kg. basis. We have one purchase invoice, total Value of refractory material including Tax is ₹ 761940/- and total Kg. is 8000. Please confirm where we can take credit of Refractory material. I.e. In Input or Capital goods.

Dear Sh.Sanjeev Jadhav Ji,

In such a situation, better option is to take credit as Capital Goods. You will be in a comfort zone for all purposes i.e. accounting in books of accounts, audit purpose.

Sir, the amount is more than 10 thousand in your query. so it should be taken as capital goods. 50% of credit is eligible in the year of purchase and balance in next year i.e. on 01.04.2017 you can take the credit.
