Thanks Sir. thank you very much for your concern. but in a Book of Foreign Trade Policy (16th edition) it has been written/mentioned that one can claim cenvat claim against DEPB license debit. i have some doubt coz in this book it is clearly mentioned that one can claim, but in Cenvat rules there is no such ammendment regarding this issue. so what should i follow this time? please help me out.
actually admissibility of CENVAT credit on the additional duty of customs (CVD) wherein the goods are importing making a debit in the DEPB AUTHORISATION has been the most dealt/discussed/ debited issue in the recent past.
in recent case the larger bench of the HON'BLE tribunal in the case of M/S ESSAR STEEL LIMITED (2004-TIOL-807-CESTAT-DEL-LB HAS HELD THAT NO CENVAT CREDIT IS ADMISSIBLE ON THE CVD, IF THE SAID CVD IS DEBITED UNDER A DEPB LICNECE.
