CENVAT credit query - Urgent- PLZZ REPLY

Queries 1087 views 2 replies
It would be great if you anyone can help me out with a CENVAT credit query.
 
An importer who is also a manufacturer, imports and manufactures excisable goods. He is registered with central excise as a manufacturer (ie his registration no. contains XM). He manufactures excisable goods, pay excise, remove the goods, under an invoice and sell them. The buyer can avail cenvat credit of excise duty based upon his invoice [containing his registration no (say ABCDE1234HXM001].
 
He also imports goods, pays CVD on them, issues invoice from warehouse (where he keeps those goods) and sells them.
 
My question is :- Can the buyer take credit of CVD based upon his invoice?
It may be noted that he has not taken a seperate registration as an importer. He is using his manufacturer's registration no. (ie XM).
 
In short: Is being registered as a manufacturer is enough to cover both manufacture and import, or do he need to take a seperate registration as an importer ( which will be a dealer registration containing XD in the registration no) ?
 
 
It would be a great help to me if anybody can resolve my query.

1] NO you can not use manufacturer registration . You have to obtain seperate importer registration  at warehouse.[ as a trader/dealear] apply immidiately.

2] Request  for  registration effective back dated if possible from the range office  convincing delay.

3] Alternatively if you are carry out some process on these goods which amounts to maufacture then  you can bring the goods in side the factory and can clear as   manufactured  goods to customer .

 I think .. back date .. registration may not be allowed. there is no provisions under the service tax .. check for yourself to make it doubly sure..
