As per Rule 9 of CENVAT credit rules read with Rule 4A of service tax Rules invoice should be in the name and address of service receiver... however you can argue that these service are used by company and payment is also made by company and hence credit should be allowable... also there are many judgments which held that procedural laps should not deny the substantial benefit.. however departmental authorities may litigate this
