Dear Shyam,
It is presumed that the crane imported by you is NOT going to be used exclusivley for providing exempted services. It would be used partially for taxable services.
If so then the credit available this year is 50% of the CVD about 20 Lakhs+ and the balance can be availed on 1.4.2009 as long as the crane has been put to use. It maybe ensured that the value of the crane for depreciation does not contain the duty crewdits availed i.e. 43 lakhs.
Warm Regards
