Manufacturing firm can claim CENVAT credit for interpreter services if linked to machinery installation for excisable goods. A manufacturing company inquired about the eligibility to claim CENVAT credit for interpreter services used during the installation of imported machinery. An expert advised that if the service agreement specifies the interpreter's role in overcoming language barriers for machinery installation linked to manufacturing excisable goods, CENVAT credit can be claimed. Another expert confirmed that credit is available as the interpreter's services indirectly relate to the factory's modernization. Both responses emphasize the necessity of proving the connection between the interpreter services and the manufacturing process. (AI Summary)
