Cenvat credit earned during amnesty scheme

I dont agree. I have verified the facts. The scheme states that the credit cant be used to pay of the service tax dues, which need to be paid in cash, but such credit can be carried forward in terms of the service tax legislations. However such carry forward of CENVAT credit is possible only if the assessee was registered with the department during the period when CENVAT credit arose.

I came across a coment in the forum that implies that even if the registration is now taken, still the prior CENVAT credit can be used. The screen shot is attached for your reference. That should sound good to you.
