You are a Works Contractor so for you materials purchased is an input and as per the Provision of Section 16(1) of the CGST Act 2017, ITC of inputs, input services and capital goods used in the "course of or furtherance of business" can be claimed.

Therefore you as a Works Contractor will be eligible to claim ITC on materials purchased provided that all the FOUR CONDITIONS as laid down under Section 16(2) of the CGST Act 2017 is fulfilled.

Section 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017 talks about that the credit of GST paid on availment of Works Contract Service in the hands of the Service Recipient will be "BLOCKED."

Regards,
Shivam RC.

Yes agree with Mr. Shivam

@ Vijay Prakash , kindly read as quoted by you the extract from Section 17(5) " Except where it is an input Service for further supply"

So when it is further supply the ITC can be claimed.
