13 February 2014 Dear Manoj,
You can not claim Cenvat on E Cess and HE Cess when you import material from overseas. In fact when you import material from overseas, E Cess and HE Cess will be applied on basic duty + CVD.
Couple of years back, E Cess and HE Cess were applicable on CVD and again on (Basic Duty + CVD + E Cess on CVD + HE Cess on CVD) As it was charged twise that time, E Cess and HE Cess paid on CVD were allowed as Cenvat. Currently as E Cess and HE Cess on CVD are not levied, Cenvat can not be claimed.
Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to ask any further questioin.
