Rule 3(5) CCR | Cenvat Credit Reversal Nullifies Violation Even Without Physical Receipt of Goods : CESTAT Hyderabad
CESTAT Hyderabad rules that reversal of Cenvat credit under Rule 3(5) of CCR 2004 negates any alleged violation of Rule 3, even if inputs were not physically received. The judgment protects manufacturers from penalties where credit is fully reversed before clearance, ensuring no revenue loss to the exchequer.
