Availment of CENVAT Credit isd the decision of the service recipient or the producer of taxable goods. There is no law making it compulsory that CENVAT Credit should be availed of. The benefit of availing CENVATY Credit is the outlay of duty payable would be lesser. Whether the CENVAT Credit is availed and utilized is purely the assessee's discretion.
