as per my opinion , the input credit can be availed only in case of input services taken for providing output services/ goods so the input credit in your case depends upon the nature of business of the company,

It is better not to take credit in such cases. It might be a source of litigation in future. Department does not like such credits to be avaied and utilised. If you can really justify that input service is used for proviidng taxable output services then you may take. It is advisable not to be aggressive though indirect nexus between input and output service is also eligible for credit.

Thanks,
