When the imported material was used for manufacturing final product, credit taken on a photocopy of courier bill of entry was allowable.

Facts
The Appellant imported inputs and utilized the same in manufacture of the final product which was cleared on payment of duty. The lower authorities denied the benefit of CENVAT credit stating that original bill of entry was not produced and photocopy of a courier bill of entry is not a valid document under Rule 9 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.

Held
The Tribunal noted that there is no dispute that the material on which credit is taken was imported and used for manufacturing the product. Therefore CENVAT credit cannot be denied on mere technical grounds and the appeal was allowed.
