A client of mine has availed cenvat credit in plant & machinery.It is the credit availed for previous months and not of the corresponding month.
I would like to know how this should be shown in books of accounts.
Can this amount be shown as income in P&L account?

Credit can be taken even if it is relating to previous months.
The Cenvat credit taken on purchase of Plant and Machinery cannot be taken as an income in P&L Account. It should be deducted from the value of the asset capitalised.
