Cenvat Credit on spare parts ?, Central Excise

[Ajay shah]

Dear Sir,

We have a few machines in our factory. Whenever there is some breakdown we procure spare parts for the same.

My query is :    is the cenvat credit of the spare to be treated as capital goods credit and taken 50/50  or can I simply take 100% credit ?

Cenvat credit on Capital goods including it spares, accessories , components etc can be taken only to the extent of 50 % in the financial year in which it is received

[Pradeep Khatri]

According to the definition of the Capital Goods, under CENVAT credit Rules, 2004 as amended time to time, CENVAT Credit on Spares, Components can be availed even if these spares/components do not fall under the same tariff heading as of the capital goods.

As enumerated above by Mr. James, CENVAT credit on such spare parts/components, can be availed to the extent of 50% in the first financial year and the remaining 50% will be availed in the next financial year( but after installation of spare parts/components.
