20 March 2012 Department is objecting because invoice is raised in the name of Corporate office and technically corporate office does not provide service or manufacture goods.......You can get registered your corporate office as Input service Destributor and then can destribute the credit to the plant or premises to which it relates or if it is commong then can be distributed in ratio of turnover (as amended in Budget 2012)
