se, the furniture purchased by the appellant for its business purpose, though is not confirming to the definition of capital goods, but the same should be considered as input, in absence of any restrictions provided in the statute. I find that in identical situation, this Tribunal in the case of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Commr. Of S.T – 2016 (42) STR 938 (Tri. – Mum) has allowed Cenvat benefit on furniture items, considering the fact that the said goods are required for the purpose of rendering the taxable service.
4. In view of above, I do not find any merits in the impugned order. Accordingly, after setting aside the same, I allow the appeal in favour of appellant.
