 you will be able to claim cenvat credit only if the invoice is as per the rules (Rule 4A of STR, 1994). ST regn no. is a requirement besides other requirements in the invoice for claiming the cenvat credit.

You can get the proper invoice from the supplier and then claim credit.

You can claim CENVAT CREDIT on the input service ( Courier Charges paid by you ) provided the details are given in the Invoice as per rule 4A of the Service Tax Rules 1994 which includes the service tax registration number of the Courier company.
