Yes, you can. Kindly refer the stated section in CGST Act for proof.

@ Manish.,
You can't avail ITC from the purchase of truck.
Vehicle's ITC used by Transport business person/Firms only take. Otherwise no need....

Mr. Raja kindly go through section 17(5)(a)(ii) carefully. I am reproducing again:

17(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section 1 of section 16 and sub-section 1 of section 18, input tax credit shall not be available in respect of
(a) motor vehicles and other conveyances except when they are used (ii) for transportation of goods;
Mr. Faraz.,
Don't be confused. You can read again carefully.... Then You ll do advice for me...!

ITC can't available for Vehicle purchase. The ITC available is related business only...

This is not CENVAT era. In CENVAT era, you could not avail. Under GST, words are different which enables anybody to avail input on purchase of vehicles if it is used for transportation of goods.

It's never too late to learn
