In this case the role of A is nothing but a commission agent/Buyer. If the said Supplier is registered with Central Excise and issuing the Invoice in the name of B, then it is obvious that B can avail the CENVAT with out any obligation. It is to be kept in mind that the supplier should be registered with Central Excise as Manufacturer, if the material supplied is from his own manufactured product and, should be registered with Central Excise as Dealer, if the materials supplied are purchased from some other manufacturers. In this case the details of the manufacturers should be mentioned on the Invoice. In both cases the Supplier’s Invoice should bear their Excise Registration Number, Range & Div etc.
The CENVAT credit shall be taken by the manufacturer or the provider of output service or input service distributor, as the case may be, on the basis of any of the following documents, namely :-
An invoice issued by a Manufacturer, an Importer, an importer from his depot the or from premises of the consignment agent of the said importer if the said depot or the premises, as the case may be, is registered in terms of the provisions of Central Excise Rules, 2002, a Registered first stage dealer or a second stage dealer or a supplementary invoice, issued by a manufacturer or importer of inputs or capital goods in terms of the provisions of Central Excise Rules, 2002 .
