1) for verification of cenvat records, please compare purchase register and provision of Cenvat credit as per the books, compare the same monthwise as per the cenvat credit register and ER 1 return of the manufacturer. 2) documents to see are original duty paying invocies or bill of entry and relavant Goods receipt note of the goods for the corresponding invocie, pl check GRN qty and invocie qty. if there is shortage, canvat has to availed proportaionatley. No cenvat credit can be availed on photcopy or xerox. 3) yes and check major input opening balance, recipt, utilised and closing balance. 4)ER 1, ER 4, ER 5, ER 6 AND ER 7 , this are various returns which are required to file. 5) in case of credit relating to capital goods received 50% credit allowed in year for which capital goods recieved and remaining 50% credit can be availed on next Financial Year. Also check 50% creidt provision as per books of accounts and 50% credit availed as per Cenvat register and monthly ER 1 return of excise.
