IONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE, PUNE-I [ 2018 (3) TMI 1048 - CESTAT MUMBAI] where it was held that Notification No. 21/2014-S.T. (N.T.), dated 11- 7-2014 should be applicable to those cases wherein the invoices were issued on or after 11-7-2014 for the reason that notification was not applicable to the invoices issued prior to the date of notification therefore at the time of issuance of the invoices no time limit was prescribed. Therefore in respect of those invoices the limitation of six months cannot be made applicable. Thus, the time limit of six months prescribed under Notification No.21/2014 dated 11.07.2014 is applicable only in respect of the invoices issued after 11.07.2014. As the invoices in this case were issued prior to this da .....

Even though the credit was not entered in so-called RG-23A, Part-II, but it is recorded in the books of accounts, it will be considered as Cenvat credit was recorded. On this ground also it can be said that there is no delay in taking the credit. As per my above discussion, the appellant is entitled for the Cenvat credit hence the impugned order is set aside. The appeal is allowed. 7. I find that this decision has been followed in various other decisions of the Tribunals, some of which are mentioned below:- (a) Indian Potash Ltd. vs. Commissioner of CGST, Meerut [2019 (369) E.L.T. 742 (Tri.-All.)] (b) Essel Propack .....
