First of all, you should understand that both copies of invoice are not sent with consignment. As per rule, duplicate for transporter copy is handed over to transporter and sent with consignment. Original for buyer copy is sent to buyer through courier separately for safer side. Then, cenvat can be taken on either copy.
Now you can take following steps:- 1. Please take a written statement of driver or transporter on a stamp paper of Rs. 10/=. 2. Submit a F.I.R. to nearby police station for it. 3. Meet to your jurisdictional A.C. or D.C. along with your triplicate copy of invoice, RG-1, proof of payment of duty and request to them to allow to your buyer to take cenvat credit on any other extra copy of invoice (if available) or on your triplicate copy. For it, they can certify this copy of invoice and can permit for it.
If it is not possible. I will suggest you any other option but after discussion with you.
Issue Directly Excise Invoice Marking as "Duplicate". FIR and Meeting AC/DC Involves Wastage of Time. I have sen many doing the same.directly issuing marked as "duplicate".
