Cenvat credit can be availed in respect of imported goods. Cenvat Credit of education cess, NCCD and additional excise duty paid on inputs under section 85 of Finance Act (and corresponding CVD on imported inputs) can be utilised only for payment of corresponding duty on final product. Hence Customs Ed Cess 2% & 1% are not eligible.
