Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for goods supplied free of charge by a distributor at year-end. According to Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, Input Tax Credit (ITC) cannot be claimed on goods that are lost, stolen, destroyed, written off, or given as gifts or free samples. Therefore, distributors cannot claim ITC on items distributed at no cost.
As per the Provision of Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act 2017, ITC on Goods lost, Stolen, Destroyed, written off or given off as gift or free samples is specifically BLOCKED.
Hence you cannot claim ITC.
