Friends,
Whether SS and MS pipes used inside factory for manufacture of a product can be claimed as input under excise rules. Or will it be a part of Capital structures which are not eligible for input credit.
Thanks.
In order to remove the cascading effect of excise duty and service tax, the Excise Duty paid on the inputs, capital goods and input services, which are used in or in relation to the manufacture of final product or for providing output services is permissible to be set-off against the excise duty liability on the final products or paying service tax under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. These rules have been notified to regulate the availment and utilization of the CENVAT credit. The salient features are as follows:

(ii) Pollution control equipment;
(iii) Components, spares and accessories of the goods specified and (i) and (ii)
(iv) Moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures;
