Dear Atul,
It's understood that your friend uses a car of your owners' for which insurance premium is being paid by the owner and the premium thus paid includes Service Tax of !2.36 %. Am I correct ? If yes, NO,
since the real owner of the car (as per the RC records) is your friend's owner and the owner only is entitled to avail the input credit of the ST paid in the premium. Because only the registered owner only by all means the rightful assessee. However, Let me know how does ST comes into the picture here, do you mean Income Tax ? If the query is on the IT then a premium paid on a vehicle is not relevant to personal IT ( However the same may be considered for business income/expenses and deduction while computing IT.) So make your query more clear to enable us to indicate appropriate opinion.

First of all, let us know what about the other half Insurance Premium, who is paying it. If the company pays the entire amount of Insurance Premium, then too how will you show the Car being used for Business Purpose, if you can satisfy the Tax Authorities with proper records, then you can go ahead, otherwise it is mere wastage of time and energy, as such the amount will be meager hardly in hundreds
