Yes, obviously.

Please read the rule 3(5) of Cenvat Credit Rules 2004. If you have availed the Cenvat Credit and removing the CG as such, then

 

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

 

Provided also that if the capital goods, on which CENVAT Credit has been taken, are removed after being used, the manufacturer or provider of output service shall pay an amount equal to the CENVAT Credit taken on the said capital goods reduced by 2.5 per cent for each quarter of a year or part thereof from the date of taking the Cenvat Credit;”.

Dear sir,

We need to clear some excisable capital goods and the dept., indicates that excise duty should be remitted @ the current rate ie. 12.36% on the deprecited value of the asset.

The usual practice is to depreciate the asset @ 13.91% (WDV as per Co's act) and depreciate the Excise/Customs duty taken in 2 instalments of 50% each @ 2.5% for each completed quarter.

 

Pls advise.
