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.

No as per section 17(5) of CGST Act you cannot take ITC on supply made as free distributed, sample, gifts, destroy, stolen etc.
Thank you sir
It is blocked credits under section 17(5) of the GST Act
No @ Manasa Alleni. You cannot claim ITC.

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.
