AS PER SUB RULE (2) OF RULE 3 OF CENVAT CREDIT RULES, 2004:- "the manufacturer of final products shall be allowed to take CENVAT credit of the duty paid on inputs lying in stock or in process or inputs contained in the final products lying in stock on the date on which any goods manufactured by the said manufacturer."
SO, I THINK THEY CAN NOT TAKE CENVAT CREDIT ON THAT CAPITAL GOODS PURCHASED IN PAST. THANKS R.K. GARG (M.COM. L.L.B.) [CONSULTANT OF CENTRAL EXCISE,CUSTOMS AND SERVICE TAX]
