There is no legal provision which deny this cenvat, as after new cenvat rules, scope of cenvat has been incresed. Regarding inputs or capital goods, Cenvat credit rule specifically says that such n such goods are capital goods. Look at the definition of capital goods in cenvat credit rules. Goods not falling under those are inputs, even when they may be capital goods for accounting principles.
