Input

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on motor vehicles for business purposes under the CGST Act 2017. Generally, ITC on cars and vehicles with up to 13 seats (including the driver) is blocked, even if used for business. However, exceptions exist for vehicles specifically used for transporting goods, like good carriage vehicles or three-wheelers used commercially. If your business involves selling vehicles, you can claim ITC as it's for resale. For buses with 13 or more passengers, ITC is generally available.

U r using it for commercial purposes, but if it's not commercial vehicles than not allowed
Than ITC on bus available or blocked
If bus capacity is 13 passenger or more than available, otherwise not available
If m sailing car than can I claim ITC
Yes, in that case ..u can claim...
as its for furtherance of business
Than why not available on bike or other vehicles, which is used for business purposes
Ma'am, it's specifically blocked u s 17 5 of CGST act

The intention of govt. is to make money on sin goods. Vehicles for passenger travel (less than 13 seaters) fall in that category. Therefore, by restricting ITC, govt. makes money. 

Link to business functions is not sufficient here. But, a person who trades in vehicles, i.e. buy & sell will be able to claim as he is not purchasing vehicle for its utility but is purchasing for further sale. 

Please go through Section 17(5) of CGST Act. Also, where ITC on the vehicle is ineligible (conceptually) - then ITC on the repairs, maintenance, insurance, leasing/renting, is also ineligible. (applicable vice versa too).
