While clarifying on transition of credit of central taxes paid on goods in stock, the CBEC said: "A manufacturer having an existing registration can carry forward his Cenvat credit as CGST credit. He is also entitled to take balance of Cenvat Credit on capital goods." Under the current scheme of indirect taxation, manufacturers are allowed to take credit of duty of excise on any input received in the factory. Under the CENVAT credit system, the benefit of excise duty on inputs is available instantaneously when the inputs reach the factory.
Here's what the CBEC said:
Transition of Registration:
Any dealer who is registered under State VAT, Central Excise, Service tax etc having a valid PAN shall be given provisional registration.
Dealers who have been given provisional registration would be given final registration on submission of prescribed documents

A manufacturer having an existing registration can carry forward his Cenvat credit as CGST credit. He is also entitled to take balance of Cenvat Credit on capital goods.

Credit Transfer Document can be issued by a manufacturer for goods having value of more than Rs. 25000/- per item, bearing the brand name of the manufacturer, if verifiable inventory and supply chain records are maintained.
A dealer who was not registered earlier, can take input tax credit of 60% of CGST paid where the CGST rate is 9% or more and 40% of CGST paid in other cases for a period of six months, on stocks which were not unconditionally exempted earlier buy no Cenvat paying document is available.

Credit on goods in transit:
Credit of both Central and State taxes paid on goods in transit on the day of the transition i.e. 01-07-2017 is available on the basis of duty paying documents.
Transition without double taxation:
