Probably yes, if you are paying tax for such period then cenvat credit shall be available for such period(quantity used in manufacturing goods on which tax is payable)

Thank you Mr.Shiva. But any clearance made before the registration can't be charged duty in our invoice. So I had a doubt whether we can utilize or not !

You cant charge duty in your previous invoices but if department is charging duty from you for the previous period then u can also avail credit benefit.

You can claim Cenvat Cr (undoubtly) and accordingly you have to charge ED on invoice.

No Cenvat cr of Inputs and services are available if you are excercising 8/2003 i.e.(SSI exemption).

In such case you can claim Cr. on capital goods.
