All telephone, be it Landline or Mobile are eligible for Cenvat Credit. Cenvat Credit is available against Invoice raised by Service Provider after making the payment. As such Bill should be in the name of Service receiver.

Dear Rutambh, The issue has been sattled by now. The tribunal in the case of Indian Rayon & Industries Ltd Vs CCE 2006 TIOL 1152 (Trib) has held that cenvat credit on mobile phone is available.
