removal means clearance to next buyer on payment of duty under rule 3(5) or 3(5A), in excise terms.
The Manufacturing industry who is owner of the capital goods has to clear the goods to next person on invoice.
Rule does not allow the credit to the "person who is removing the goods" but he is eligible for input credit when the machines were 1st brought to his factory as capital goods. (50% in 1st year and balance in subsequent year)
when he removes the goods, he has to pay the duty, and such duty can not be claimed as input credit by himself,
such duty can be taken as input credit by the person who has taken position of the used capital goods after removal from factory under cover of an invoice and duty paid under rule 3(5) or 3(5A)
