But the query is that what is the time limit for taking cenvat credit on inputs. As per rule 4(1) of CCR 2004, cenvat credit on input may be taken when inputs are received in the factory or premises of service provider. As per clarification issued by CBEC, if the assessee did not take the credit on inputs, then he can't be denied on this ground to claim this credit later. Therefore, there is no time limit of taking cenvat credit on inputs!

There is no time bar in Cenvat Credit Rules. Also in one of the judgments (SAIL India) it was held that as there is no time limit cenvat can be availed any time. But for practical reason, in indutry, credit is availed in maximum 1 yr.

Cenavt credit can be taken on inputs at any time after the goods have been received in factory. There is no any time limit. While in practice ,manufacturer uses a time period of one year.

Cenavt credit can be taken on inputs at any time after the goods have been received in factory. There is no any time limit in the excise manual. While in practice ,manufacturer uses a time period of one year for proper accounting.

Input Credit on Service tax paid is available to the manufacturer / Service tax provider only on payment of service Tax liability. It is immaterial when the liability has been provided for.
