Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST credit (ITC) eligibility for building maintenance and repair. ITC is generally blocked under Section 17(5) if costs are capitalised. However, if treated as revenue expenditure (repair and maintenance expenses in the P&L account), ITC can be claimed as it doesn't fall under the definition of construction.
If repair & maintenance of building is in nature of capital expenditure then ITC is blocked 17(5) if it is in the nature of revenue expenditure then ITC is allowed as it is not file in the definition of construction.
