Quick Summary
Construction contractors undertaking work within Special Economic Zones (SEZs) without charging IGST are eligible to claim Goods and Services Tax (GST) input tax credit (ITC) on materials purchased. This is because SEZ work is considered a zero-rated supply under the IGST Act. You can either claim this input tax credit or opt for a GST refund.

Yes. you can avail ITC on inputs as it is used for making zero rated supplies. You can also claim refund.
Yes ITC is available.

Yes you can take credit.

Yes. You can take the credit.

 

Section 16(2) of the IGST act specifies that ITC may be availed on inward supplies for making zero-rated supply, notwithstanding the exempt nature of the zero-rated supply.

Zero-rated supply is an expression that covers two kinds of supplies: i) exports, and ii) supplies to a SEZ unit or SEZ developer.

So if you are adhering the GST rules properly then you can claim full ITC on the materials & services availed in regards to construction work of SEZ.

You can either take Input tax credit (ITC) or GST refund
