08 April 2010 my question is to Mr Bansal, if the telephone/mobile is used by the company but (1) in the bill for communication is written that of employee's residence address,
(2) the bill is in the name of the employee or directors but not in the name of the company.
Whether service tax credit is available in above two cases.
