Unavailed CENVAT Credit
In the erstwhile regime, Rule 4(2)(a) of the CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 stated that CENVAT credit in respect of capital goods received in a factory or in the premises of the provider of output service at any point of time in a given financial year shall be taken only for an amount not exceeding fifty per cent of the duty paid on such capital goods in the same financial year. Section 140(2) of the CGST Act, 2017, read with transitional provision rules states that such unavailed CENVAT Credit in respect of capital goods, not carried forward in a return, can be taken as credit in the electronic ledger of such registered person. The unavailed credit would not be admissible as CENVAT Credit unless it is admissible as credit in both old and new regime.

Section 140(5) of the CGST Act, 2017 states that in the case where inputs or input services are received on or after the appointed date but eligible duties with respect to such goods have been paid under the old regime, the registered person will be eligible to take credit of duties paid, subject to the condition that the invoice or any other duty or tax-paying document of the same was recorded in the books of account of such person within a period of thirty days from the appointed day.
