and we adopt 4 5(a) procedure also, we availed cenvat credit on inputs which not utilised due some technical/ commercial matters.
Now Central excise range is asking/ objecting orally why company have availed cenvat whereas you are not doing any clearance from the unit.

Rule 3. CENVAT credit rule says A manufacturer or producer of final products or a provider of taxable service shall be allowed to take credit.
If the credit is eligible then there is no issue for av-ailment.

Try to explain officer.
