Attention is invited to the Board’s Circular No. 897/17/2009-CX dated 03.09.09, wherein it was clarified that in light of clear and unambiguous provisions of Rule 14 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, the interest shall be recoverable when credit has been wrongly “taken”, even if it has not been utilized. The Apex Court has ruled that “If the aforesaid provision is read as a whole we find no reason to read the word “OR” in between the expressions ‘taken or utilized wrongly or has been erroneously refunded’ as the word “AND”. On the happening of any of the three circumstances such credit becomes recoverable along with interest.” In effect, therefore, the view taken by the Board in circular dated 03.09.09 has now been endorsed by the Apex Court.
