19 November 2008 Hi.

Excise duty paid on Capital Goods can be utilized upto 50% in the year of purchase and balance can be in subsequent year.
However the impute credit should be utilized within reasonable time.
There is no bared to utilize the credit available before registration.


20 November 2008 Thanks Nirav Vora. But can you provide me some legal decisions or other evidances on which my client can take the credit.

Further the question comes to my mind that my client is providing such services from last 4 years but it became taxable from the 15.05.08 thus whether he can get the credit from
a) 01.04.08 or
b) from the date of providing such services i.e. from last 4 years or
c) from 15.05.08
d) From Date of Registration
