We find that as per the appellant, major amount of demand working out to Rs.12.07 crores pertains to capital goods credit utilised. We note that the Commissioner wrongly found that the restriction contained in Rule 6(3) of CCR as regards the use of cenvat credit above 20% of the tax paid applied to credit of capital goods also.
