13 March 2026 You cannot claim the GST input on the E-bike. Under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, ITC on motor vehicles with a seating capacity of under 13 people is blocked unless you are in the business of supplying vehicles, transporting passengers, or running a driving school. The fact that it appears in your GSTR-2B only means the supplier filed their returns correctly; it does not override the blocked credit rules.
