good evening, mr. srinivas,

 

1.  Cenvat Cedit Rules, 2004 provide for transfer of credit on account of shifting of factory

2.  Since you are closing the "C" unit, you can move the materials, ( raw materials, wip, finished goods and capital goods) to Unit "A" against  invoice on payment of duty

3.  Thereafter make necessary entries in DSA and other related documents maintained at Unit "C"

4.  At the completion of shifting of Unit "C" , you can approach your jurisdictilonal  ACCE/DCCE and seek transfer ofunutilized / balance  cenvat credit

5.  After getting the permission, you can take credit at Unit "A"

6.  As an abundant precaution, you may write in advance to ACCE/DCCE in charge of Unit "C" about your proposal to shift Unit "C" to Unit"A".  Endorse copy of this letter to the ACCE of Unit "A" as well.

7.  This should suffice

8.  You may also approach your range office for any other divergent practice followed

 

Thanks,
