Can claim itc on crackers distributed to our customers

This query is : Resolved 

12 March 2019 Sir / Madam,

We have purchased and distributed crackers at the time of diwali festival to our customers. We do so for maintaining cardial relationship with our customers. Likewise we have also distributed Calendars and diaries to our custtomers on the new year celebration.

Can we treat these transactions as business promotion activities or business auxiliary transactinos and claim ITC on those purchases?

Kindly advise us.

Thanks a lot in advance,

with warm regards,
Bazeer L
