GST on brokerage for buying and selling shares is attributable to trading in securities, which is treated as an exempt supply for ITC purposes (valued at 1% of sale value of securities), so that credit is blocked under Sec 17(2) and cannot be set off against GST on consultancy income; only ITC on common inputs, after Rule 42 apportionment, and inputs exclusively for consultancy is available.
