Your query need further details and detailed analysis. What is the status after surrender. Since he has closed the business, whether the machinery has been sold or business as such transferred. See rule 10 of CCR regarding transfer of cenvat credit. If you are not entitled to transfer of credit as per rule 10 and sold the machinery, indeed, there is a mandatory requirement of reversal of cenvat credit on capital goods.
