Your query — "Can we get reimbursement of Input CENVAT?" — needs a bit of clarification in terms of what exactly you're asking. However, I’ll explain the two possible interpretations and their answers:
✅ 1. If you're asking:
Can we recover or pass on the Input CENVAT credit (excise duty) to a client or party as "reimbursement"?
Answer:
No, you cannot separately reimburse CENVAT credit. CENVAT is a credit available to the manufacturer or service provider under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, and it is not reimbursable between parties.
CENVAT credit is not a recoverable cost — it’s a benefit that offsets your own excise or service tax liability.
You can’t raise a bill to your client saying “Input CENVAT reimbursed.”
✅ 2. If you're asking:
Can we claim or avail input CENVAT credit on eligible inputs, capital goods, or input services?
Answer:
Yes, subject to conditions under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, you can avail CENVAT credit of:
Excise duty on inputs and capital goods, and
Service tax paid on input services used in the provision of output goods/services.
📌 Conditions include:
Inputs/services must be used for providing taxable output services or manufacturing dutiable goods.
Proper tax-paying documents (excise invoice, service tax invoice) must be available.
Credit must be taken within 1 year from the date of invoice (as per 2015 amendment).
⚠️ Important Note (Post-GST context):
If your question is recent, note that CENVAT Credit system was replaced by Input Tax Credit (ITC) under GST from July 1, 2017.
If this is related to pre-GST period (like your date — May 2015), then CENVAT Credit Rules apply.
