The query is posted under the category of VAT.
In fact VAT and CENVAT are subject of two different law. CENVAT is part of Central Excise/Service Tax.
A manufacturer of exciseble goods/Provider of taxable service is allowed to take credit of Excise Duty/Service Tax paid on inputs/capital goods/input services. This credit is known as CENVAT. The Cenvat so taken is permitted towards payment of Central Excise Duty on manufacture and / or Service tax on Output Service.
