18 January 2009 There is no limitaion as to when the credit is to be utilised.
However, the fundamental requirement of credit is that the input is being used in the process of manufacture, resulting a product on which Central Excise duty is payable. Presently no excise duty is payable, and hence the inputs are not being used in the manner. Hence no credit can be taken.
If, by chance you start manufacturing, you will be entitled to take credit on the materials lying in stock.
