Cenvat Credit Rule do not require input-output relation. All activity relating to business fall within the defination of "Input Service". Hence they can take CENVAT Credit from any type of Taxable service.

Services which have nexus with the renting of property service qualify for cenvat credit. commiision paid for trading and rent paid for retail shop do not seem to have such nexus.

Input services in realtion to retail business may not qualify for cenvat credit that can be availble for renting of property services. Telephone service can be taken for cenvat credit provided the service has been utilised in relation to renting of property services.
