Claim of refund, Central Excise

[Jayant Kuvelkar]

SSI unit is making 80% of the total sales to EOU ie. without payment of duty. As such there is tremendous accumulation of cenvat credit.Is there any remedy to avoid such situation or to claim refund of such credit?

There is not provision in the Cenvat Credit Rules or Central Excise for getting any refund of unutilized cenvat credit accumulated due to substantial supply to EOU. You have either to use the credit for payment of excise duty or to carry forward the same. No other option is available at the moment.
