Quick Summary
Generally, businesses cannot claim GST input tax credit on the purchase of motor cars under Section 17(5) of the GST Act. However, there are specific exceptions where input tax credit is permissible. These include if the car is bought for resale, for transporting passengers, or for providing driving instruction.
As per Sec 17(5)(1)(a), the general condition is that GST input cannot be claimed on the motor car.
GST input on motor car can be claimed if the motor car is purchased for further selling, or for transportation of passengers or for imparting driving training.
Assuming that the car is not purchased for the above exceptional purposes, GST input cannot be claimed in your case.
