In circular no 942/03/2011 cx dated 14/3/2011 wherein the board has clarified that interest would be recoverable under rule 14 of the CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 when credit has been wrongly "taken" even if it has not been utilized. Therefore the interest can be recovered but as the output tax paid with interest is equivalent to CENVAT Credit with interest. Therefore it has to be explained to the department that the output tax with interest offered is for reversal of CENVAT Credit
