Hello Friends,

 

This is regarding the applicability of rule 3(5) of CENVAT CREDIT RULES.We want to transfer a machinery after being used for one year. However we have not utilized or availed credit on the input tax on the same machinery but it still remains unutilized.My questioin is  Do we need to reverse the credit as envisaged in Rule3 (5) ?. Can any one quote a case law (if any) if we do not have to  reverse the input tax in this situation ?
