14 February 2012 According to me when a person is appointed on retainer ship in that case he provides services in professional capacity and not as employee of the compnay. Accordingly his services are taxable under the service tax act as per proper classification.

15 February 2012 Classification of services provided on retainer ship basis depends on the type of services provided. Accordingly we will check that whether it satisfy the definition of input services as per Rule 2 (l) of CENVAT credit rules, 2004. if yes then we can take cenvat credit.
