Just send an intimation to your juridictional AC/DC and take credit. 

Cenvat rules does not specify any particular copy for taking the cenvat credit. The word used is "Inovice" without refering to any copy. Under excise three copy of the Inovice ie Original duplicate and triplicate copies are valid. You can take credit any of these copies.

Read Rule 9 of cenvat credit rules 2004

Cenvat credit can be availed on basis of eligible duty documents as specified in Rule 9(1).

Invoice of Manufacturer, Bill of Entry, Supplementary Invoice, Dealer’s Invoice and GAR-7 challan when service receiver is liable to pay service tax are major eligible documents.

There is ample case law that Cenvat credit cannot be denied for minor defects in duty paying document.

Person taking credit must take reasonable steps while availing Credit. Burden of proof of admissibility of Cenvat credit is on him [Rule 9(5) of Cenvat Credit Rules]

So, there is no specfic mention in RULE 9 of CCR 2004 that inout can be taken only on basis of original Document, So Buyer can take credit on bais of Transporter Copy also...............
