04 July 2013 You may avail cenvat credit if you ca go ahead as below

COMMISSIONER OF C. EX. & CUS., VADODARA-II Versus STEELCO GUJARAT LTD.

Held that- the Tribunal has observed that mere zerox copy by itself should not be made the basis of allowing the credit but where the assessee has made efforts to get the said xerox copy attested by the Range Superintendent of the supplier’s end and has established beyond doubt that the duty stands paid on the goods and the goods stand received by him, denial of credit on this procedural irregularity would not be justified.

Thanks & regards
