13 October 2020 Thank you for your early reply Please solve my doubt regarding my Two Question
My question No 1 :
Sir as per our local CA / Expert/ lawyer said “as per Section 17(5)(c) of CGST Act 2017 input tax credit in respect of work contract services has been restricted. ITC for works contract can be availed only by one who is in the same line of business and is using such services received for further supply of works contract service”.
My question No 3 :
If any work contract services has been used by recipient which has not been capitalized by the recipient for the said immovable property credit of the same may be availed by the recipient subject to other conditions

13 October 2020 1. With due respect to your CA, I reproduce section 17(5)(c) below-
(c) works contract services when supplied for construction of an immovable
property (other than plant and machinery) except where it is an input service for
further supply of works contract service;
So what is not available is ITC of Works Contract Service used for construction of immovable property. So the restriction is not for works contractor but on the works contract service supplied that means to the recipient of works contract service. But if the recipient of works contract service is another works contractor then the restriction is not there.
2. Answer to your question is covered by explanation to clause (d) of section 17(5) which reads as-
Explanation.––For the purposes of clauses (c) and (d), the expression “construction”
includes re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent
of capitalization, to the said immovable property;
Clause (d) says-
goods or services or both received by a taxable person for construction of an
immovable property (other than plant or machinery) on his own account including
when such goods or services or both are used in the course or furtherance of
business.
So this subsection is applicable if the inputs/input services are received the recipient on his own account. In the given case, this clause will not be applicable because the credit of works contract service received by XYZ (even if XYZ does not capitalise) is specifically blocked under clause (c).
Hope the matter is clear now.
