You have to reverse the Cenvat Credit.

Please refer Rule 3(5)(b) of CCR 2004.

 

..........................

 

(5B). If the value of any,

            (i)         input, or

            (ii)        capital goods before being put to use,

 

on which CENVAT Credit has been taken is written off fully or where any provision to write off fully has been made in the books of account, then the manufacturer shall pay an amount equivalent to the CENVAT credit taken in respect of the said input or capital goods:

 

                   Provided that if the said input or capital goods is subsequently used in the manufacture of final products, the manufacturer shall be entitled to take the credit of the amount equivalent to the CENVAT Credit paid earlier subject to the other provisions of these rules.
