This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you're travelling for business purposes and have booked flights using your company's GST number, you can likely claim input tax credit (ITC) on the GST charged by the airline. This applies if the travel is exclusively for official business, your GSTIN is correctly provided during booking, and the GST is reflected in your GSTR-2B. You can then claim the eligible GST amount, typically 5% on economy fares, when filing your monthly GSTR-3B return.

26 July 2026 Yes, you can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on domestic air travel between Kolkata and Coimbatore provided the travel is exclusively for official business, the booking carries your company's correct GSTIN, and the invoice correctly reflects in your GSTR-2B statement. You can then claim the eligible GST amount (such as 5% on economy fares) while filing your monthly GSTR-3B return.
