Some of the banks are issuing Debit advices for their service charges and service tax therof. But the document doesn't have the signature, as it is the computer generated document. The department is denying cenvat credit on such document, saying that the signature is mandataty while issuing an invoice / bill under rule 4A of Service Tax Rules,1994.
Please advise me whether cenvat is acceptable, when the document is generated by computer? The document itself shows "it is computer generated document. No signature is required"
