CENVAT credit cannot be denied due to invoice issued in the name of head office having with centralised registration

Quick Summary
The CESTAT Chennai has ruled that CENVAT credit cannot be refused simply because invoices were issued in the name of a company's head office, even if the services were rendered at a different plant. The tribunal emphasised that there is no legal restriction against this practice, especially when a company has centralised registration. The purpose of centralised registration is to facilitate credit availment and distribution.
