Show-cause notice was issued for reversal of such CENVAT Credit availed along with interest and for imposition of penalties. The show-cause notice was contested on merits as well as on limitation; appellant-assessee had conceded the demand raised on CENVAT Credit on capital goods and inputs for an amount of Rs. 33,46,191/- and Rs. 1,04,428/- for the period May 2007 to December, 2008.
