5. As per Rule 7(1) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2002, the invoices
issued by a first stage dealer or a second stage dealer are valid
documents for taking Cenvat credit. In this case, there is no dispute
about the fact that M/s. SC Enviro Agro India Pvt. Ltd., who had issued
the invoices and on the basis of which the Cenvat credit was taken by
the appellant, are a second stage dealer. We find that Tribunal in the
case of Malwa Cotton Spg. Mills Ltd. v. CCE, Chandigarh (supra), relying
upon the Board Circular No. 96/7/95-CX dated 13-2-95 has held that
"mere mention of the words 'on account of the dealer' on the invoices or
the name of the dealer on the invoice, in itself, would not make the
invoices ineligible documents for availing Modvat credit", so far as the
goods have been directly received in the user's premises.
