March 28, 2012 4799 Views 0 comment Print

Circular No. 962/05/2012-CX Duty payable under rule 8 is on a different footing from duty payable under Section 11A.

Therefore, the restriction on the utilization of the cenvat credit accruing subsequent to the last date of the month or quarter in which the arrears arise, is not applicable to the demands confirmed under Section 11A of the Central Excise Act, 1944.
