If a hotel charges you CGST and SGST on your bill, you generally cannot claim input tax credit (ITC) for this, especially if your GST registration is in a different state like Delhi and the hotel is in Kolkata. This is because, according to Place of Supply (POS) rules for services, the location of the hotel dictates the tax charged. However, if the hotel bill is for accommodation in Delhi for business purposes, you may be able to claim the input tax credit.

according to POS rules for services, section 12(3) of IGST Act POS shall be location of hotel itself so it has correctly charged C+S and no input tax credit can therefore be claimed by you as IGST has not been charged.
