This discussion clarifies whether a proprietor can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on construction materials purchased for a commercial building constructed on their own land, using their business GST number. The consensus is that ITC is generally blocked under Section 17(5)(c) and (d) of the GST Act, particularly when the building is for self-use or capitalization, even if it houses the proprietor's own business.
Can a Proprietor, who is constructing a commercial building on his own land claim ITC on the purchase of construction materials like steel, electrical goods etc through his proprietary business by giving his GST No. for those purchases ?
