No... ITC not available and it's blocked ITC.

Sec 17(5)(h) blocks ITC only on goods given away as gifts. If the gift kits are part of the event package billed to exhibitors for consideration, they are inputs for a taxable supply and ITC is available. Gifts to employees up to Rs 50,000 per year per employee are not a supply, but ITC on them is still blocked.
