Quick Summary

The CESTAT has ruled that CENVAT credit is available on inputs used to produce electricity that is supplied free of charge to a sister unit, provided that unit manufactures excisable goods. This decision came after the Revenue Department sought to recover credit on electricity supplied to a sister unit with a separate excise registration. The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner's order, stating that credit reversal is only required for electricity sold to external parties, not for internal transfers to related units.
