My unit is a normal taxpayer unit. Can I avail SSI exemption for part of a financial year, if my turnover in the preceding F.Y. is less than the 1cr?

Say, can I avail SSI exemption from the 1st of May, if I took cenvat credit & paid duty on clearances made upto 30th of April?

My unit is already registered with excise, it's clearly mentioned that it's a 'normal taxpayer unit'. Please reply only if you know the answer to my question, alongwith reference.

Additional Details: In similar scenario, a manufacturer applied for SSI exemption in mid-April of year 2011 through ACES. System acknowledged & so far no officer has raised objection. They paid duty on normal clearances till that date & reversed (paid) Cenvat credit on raw materials, semi finished & finished goods lying in their stock.

They file ER3 return regularly through ACES, if there was a problem, wouldn't the officers serve them show cause notice?
