Dear Professional,

We are making online airtickets booking from online service provider on behalf of our employees

for business trip frequently.

But service provider is faciliated only the computer generated invoices on each traveller name

of our company employee instead of our company name.

Shall we take input credit from such bills on our company name.

Please advise to avail service tax input credit from above bills.

According to the following provisions, credit will be denied if the company name is not mentioned in the invoice.
