If you've purchased solid fuels and been charged GST Cess on the bill, you may be wondering about its refundability or if you can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). Generally, if GST Cess is not applicable to your outward liability, you cannot claim ITC for it. The CGST Act's definition of input tax credit does not explicitly mention cess, and ITC for cess is typically only available to those individuals to whom the Compensation to Cess Act applies.
