CENVAT credit will be reversed after deduction of depreciation @ 2.5% per quarter.

[NEERAJ KUMAR, RANCHI]

Refer to Rule 3(5) of Cenvat Credit Rules' 2004 as per the Rule:

if the capital goods, on which CENVAT Credit has been taken, are removed after being used, the manufacturer or provider of output services shall pay an amount equal to the CENVAT Credit taken on the said capital goods reduced by the percentage points calculated by straight line method as specified below for each quarter of a year or part thereof from the date of taking the CENVAT Credit, namely:-

(a)   for computers and computer peripherals:       

for each quarter in the first year @ 10%

for each quarter in the second year @ 8%

for each quarter in the third year @5%

for each quarter in the fourth and fifth year @1%

(b) for capital goods, other than computers and computer peripherals @ 2.5% for each quarter.

iT IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER  CENVAT WAS TAKEN AGAINST MACHINARY MENTIONED AT SR. NO 1. FROM THE QUERY IT APPEARS IT WAS NOT TAKEN. IN THAT EVENT NO REVERSAL WOULD BE WARRANTED
