Using the unutilized cenvat of one unit for the payment of other unit, Central Excise

[Rajkumar Chandnani]

We have two units registerd under Excise with XM001 & XM002. We have large unutilised Cenvat credit balance in one unit(XM001). Can we use this to pay excise of other unit(XM002)?

As such there is no provision for utilizing of cenvat credit of one unit by the another unit. However, you can move inputs / material from one unit to another after reversing the cenvat credit. On that basis, after receiving the material so despatched from one unit, second unit can avail and utilize the cenvat credit. Indeed, the material must be eligible input or capital good for the another unit.

no, the cenvat credit is available unitwise and cross utilaisation of excess credit of one unit for payment duty of another unit of same person is not possible.
