Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for claiming CGST SGST credit on rent paid for directors' accommodation. While typically GST on residential rent is paid under Reverse Charge by the recipient, a recent notification allows the service provider to charge GST if registered. Consequently, if GST is charged on the invoice for rent paid for directors and the conditions under Section 16 and 17 are met, the credit can be availed, regardless of whether the property is commercial or residential, provided it's used in the course of business.

In my view GST on any rent paid for residential property has to be paid under Reverse Charge by recipient. Service provider has not to charge GST.

And in regard to availing ITC you can avail the same. 

As per Notification No.05/2022-CentralTax (Rate) Dated 13 July 2022, Service provider will charge GST (if registered) and hence GST charged in Invoice is correct.

You can avail GST credit. Whether its commercial or residential if it is used in course or furtherance of business you can take credit, subject to section 16 and 17 complied.

thank you for your replly. my another query is rent paid for directors. gst is charged in their rent invoice. and they are registered person . shall we take itc on that invoices 

In my understanding Notification No.5/2022- Central Tax (Rate) is for the purpose of reverse charge, which has been issued in amendment to Notification No.13/2017- Central Tax (Rate).
