Sir,

The balance of cenvat credit as per your return filed under existing law prior to the appointed date for implementation of GST Law will be the document on the basis of which you will be allowed to transfer the balance of credit available with you to electronic credit ledger. The procedure for such transfer is given in rule 1 of GST - TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS - Final Rules 04-06-2017.

Credit transfer document (CTD) is an arrangement by government to give ITC to trader/dealer on high value stock/ Inventory (> 25000 per piece ) lying on appointed date (1st july) so that duty paid goods which has already suffered central excise should not be taxed again in full. It will be issued by manufacturers within 30 days of appointed date so that dealers/traders having stock of unsold items (like CAR/AC/ Washing Machines etc.) gets ITC of CGST in their electronic credit ledger. Otherwise they will end up paying the CGST from their own pocket when that item is sold after 1 july or will starts returning the same to manufactures.
