As far as trucks are concerned, you should have been registered under GTA availing the benefit of 75% abatement. No cenvat credit is available in respect of inputs/input services used for GTA.

In respect of other machineries, you can avail cenvat credit provided you maintain separate records. Else Rule 6 shall appy
