As per Cenvat credit Rules 2013

Services for personal use or consumption of employees specifically excluded under clause (C). Services such as outdoor catering, beauty treatment, health services, cosmetic and plastic surgery, membership of a club, health and fitness centre, life insurance, health insurance and travel benefits extended to employees on vacation such as Leave or Home Travel Concession have been specifically excluded from the definition of input services.

However, this exclusion is only when such services are used primarily for personal use or consumption of any employee. Like mobile phone to employee for business purpose is allowed. Club membership fees of director who is not employee should be eligible. Corporate club membership [ without any name of employee] shall be eligible .
