Cenvat Credit on mobile telephone which is using in Office only is allowed. It is suggested to avail Cenvat Credit on all Telephone bills including Mobile Phones (w.e.f 10.09.2004), which are used in relation to business.
Earlier Service Tax Credit Rules required ‘installation’ of telephones. Hence CBE&C had clarified vide circular No. 59/8/2003 – ST dated 20.06.2003 that Cenvat credit will not be available in case of mobile phones. Now there is no such requirement, Hence service tax paid on mobile phones will be eligible for Cenvat credit w.e.f. 10.09.2004, so long as they are used in relation to business – view confirmed in Indian Rayaon v CCE 2007 (6) STT 328 (CESTAT SMB).
Hope this will serve your purpose.,
