The CVD paid on import can be utilised for payment of Service tax. 50% in the year of receipt and the balance in the next year.

 

There is no provision for refund of unutilised Cenvat.

 

If the machine is sold after two years, th seller has to reverse an / or pay 80% of the amount of cenvat taken at the time of selling the machine.
