The credit is likely to be disallowed.
There is a recent judgment which clarifies that telephone lines installed at a place other than the place of business and even if the payment is made by the company it stands to be disallowed.
You may cross check, that these expenses are subject to FBT, which means the telephone is a benefit given to the employee under an arrangment and is nothing but a cost of his CTC.
Any expense which is for the employee, though he is related to the organisation in any manner, will not be allowed, since it is not an expense in relation to the busines.
It is difficult to justify that cause for the reasons that it has personal calls associated to it.
Not allowed as input credit, is the view that I can express in the instance case
