Beware - More Facilitation Coming - CENVAT Invoice Verification


Cenvat verification

While endorsing with all apprehensions on the way of implementation of verification of the Cenvat invoices,it has to be conceded that the credit in cenvat account being in lieu of cash remittances,there is a strong case to ensure the correctness of credit availed. When the NIC was doing the computerisation work on SERMON I recall in 1994-95,at our initiative the NIC officer in Cochin had evolved a software by which we could verify the credit taken online.We had a good number of DOUBLE credit,fraud invoices etc involving even BIG gun units.Somehow,very soon ,it had a natural death.In other words,if the dept can insist and ensure that all the details of clearence and Dealer invoices,the online verification can be easily done.Earlier,alongwith RT12 returns,copies of hundreds of invoices were to be filed and as stated in DDT,the Annexure D verification of modvat was being done .Now in the E-return format,dept can insist to upload all clearence invoices with details ;similarly all the details of cenvatted invoices .This woud facilitate the verification online simple and effective.In Kerala,the VAT dept has a beautiful effective software,where the VAT credit is being entered just by name of supplier ,regn numberand invoice number,the rest of the dtails will appear on screen.In case of fraud or incorrect invoices,the details can be seen by dealers then and there.Similarly,VAT dept can also monitor and verify the credit details.I wish the CBEC may evolve a system,if necessary after gathering the details from Kerala VAT dept.When the details of invoices to be uploaded with E returns are insisted ,the trade and industry can not have any room for complaint.
