Assessee transitted from concessional rate of duty to tariff rate to avail cenvat credit and pass on cenvat credit on invoices. Credit in the ofrm of inputs and inputs lying in finshed goods as on date of transition is eligible for credit.

A machien purchased and received 15 days before the date of transition (change in Financial year) but machien still udner installation.

 

Whether credit capital goods available for availment on the said machine in view ofthe fact that it wil lactually be used for manufacture of goods at tariff rate of duty and not concessional or abated duty goods?

If available, whether available 100% or 50% in the ifrst year ?
