in essence,
taking credit is an accounting entry

while cenvat credit is adjusting against actual tax payment...

08 August 2011 Yes. Taking Credit is accounting entry. At the time of utilisation, it is accounting entry as well as debit to PLA as you are utilisng it.

09 August 2011 Under the given context taking the credit and utilizing the credit is same thing, without utilization of the credit there cant' be ultimate taking of the credit. The differentiation done on the basis of accounting treatment signifies only the sequencing effect as it did happen in the instant case. An effective accounting transaction would mean to include the financial impact-inflow/outflow in real terms.
