CENVAT credit eligibility when duty paid through Focus Product Scheme (FPS) scrip, Central Excise

[Yatin Bhopi]

Dear experts

We are manufacturer. We have imported one of our raw material under “Focus Product Scheme” by utilizing the Scrip credit (Notification No 92/2009 Cus dated 11-09-2009. We have paid the Custom duty and CVD by utilizing the duty credit scrip. Now bill of entry is showing zero duty but in license details column duty debit details are shown.

My query is:

1. Is CENVAT credit available when duty paid through duty credit scrip issued under Focus Product Scheme?
2. What will be the CENVAT credit document i.e. Bill of entry or Duty credit Scrip
