27 May 2014 Once u have claimed cenvat credit on capital goods as provided under CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 it can be certainly carried forward as on claim it looses the its character of specific nature to general nature. It is just like PLA Balance or monies lying with Govt authorities.

27 May 2014 The problem is that technically it was not claimed...It was nowhere shownas a part of credit available in the ST-3 returns for the prior periods. That particular invoice was missed out.
