can a registered trader book credit of excise duty?, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[rakesh rohilla]

Dear All,

I have a query that Vat registered dealer had got an invoice dated 26.06.2017 before GST implementation and invoice showing separately Excise duty and CST of 1.5%. Can I book credit of excise duty on this bill in GST and I book the purchase against C form also. Vat dealer is not registered in Excise and he is a trader only and filled all the returns continuously.

In my view, i can book credit of excise but not on CST as i book against C form.

thanks himansu, i have seen trans 1 form in GST portal and I am confused about filing the details. I have only 1 excise invoice which is duty paid and rest of all are vat invoices which i have filled the return for the quarter 1-4-2017 to 30-6-2017 in DVAT. For availing credit of excise as per the query, i have to fill only one excise invoice or to fill all the details of quarter april to june 2017. please clarify it.
