Service tax on telephone/mobile bills can be taken as input credit provided telephone/mobile expenses are directly attributable to service taxable income. for example, if service tax credit is to be adjusted against cenvat payable on exiseable goods, then telephone/mobile bills of factory only can be available for service tax credit. Telephone/mobile of head office,administrative office, corporate office or branches would not be available for said credit.
