DEPB can be utilised only for payment of custom duty. However, cenvat credit of CVD/SAD is available, if paid through DEPB.

As per Customs Notification No.89/2005, condition no.(vi), importer is entitled to avail Cenvat credit of additional duty leviable under Section 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, against the amount debited in the Duty Entitlement Pass Book (DEPB).
Validity of above notification has been extended "till further notice" by notification no.41/2008-Cus. dated 31-03-2008.
