09 February 2018 As per Section 17(5)(d), Input tax credit shall not be available for goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an immovable property (other than plant and machinery) on his own account including when such goods and services or both are used in the course or furtherance of business.

Considering the above provision, in your case, ITC shall not be eligible for goods and services used for the construction of hotel building.

But ITC shall be eligible for plant and machinery if they are not forming part of immovable property. We need to provide detailed list of assets to ascertain whether ITC in those shall be eligible or not. Eg: ITC can be made available for movable furniture, window or split AC but shall not be available for centralized AC or lifts.

10 February 2018 Credit shall be available for furniture and fixtures, air conditioners, computers, mobile phone. Whether for transformer the credit shall be available or not is a disputable and litigation point.
