Whenever some portion of such inputs are issued for manufacture of either dutiable goods or manufacture of goods which are exempted for export purposes, they avail credit on the basis of actual consumption of inputs. For example, if 1,000 Kg of an input is received and only 200 Kg is used for manufacture of dutiable goods or exempted goods for export, they take proportionate credit only to the extent of that 200 Kg.

..... (ii) Whether the assessee was correct in taking CENVAT Credit on exempted goods which were exported; (iii) Whether the assessee was correct in taking CENVAT Credit in respect of dutiable goods which were cleared under Chapter X procedure. 9. We find that all these three issues were settled earlier. As far as the question of taking proportionate amount of credit based on the usage as opposed to taking the credit on the entire input invoices are concerned, in the assessee s own case as reported in 2018(3)TMI 837-CESTAT-Hyderabad, this Bench has decided that the assessee can take credit in proportionate to the quantity of inputs used for manufacture of dutiable goods.
