At present, under Rule 4(5) (a) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 there is no requirement of intimation also. However, the undertaking is required under an alternative procedure of Notification 214/86-C.E. dated 25.3.1986 and as amended. However, while giving undertaking, intimation is als .....

The same was required under earlier Rule 57F(2) of Modvat Credit Rules. It appears that the same mechanism is carried forward in the proposed GST regime. The time limit for job work specified for inputs has been increased from 180 days to one year and that for capital goods has bee .....

This increase in the time limit for job work is appreciated by trade and industry particularly for the capital goods. However, it is pointed that the definition of capital goods has undergone a substantial change and now goods that are capitalised in the books of accounts are to be treated as capital goods and consequently the enhanced time limit will be .....

There is drastic change in the provision regarding non-receipt of job-worked goods within the stipulated time period.

Moreover, there was also provision that the input tax credit paid may be re-claimed when the inputs/capital goods were received after expiry of prescribed period. Now, this provision has been completely changed.

However, there is no express provision whether the job-worker will be able to claim credit of tax paid by the principal. Moreover, there might be practical difficulty in availing credit.

Also, it appears that the principal will be required to pay interest for delay in payment of tax which will serve as an additional burden to him.
