I went to buy a laptop and wanted to avail student discount through my younger brother's student id. But i also have GSTIN.

The shopkeeper told me i cannot get student discount if i want to claim GST.

Is it correct?

Can i not claim ITC even if student discount is applied [or any other discount is applied]

Quick Summary

A freelancer with a GSTIN is asking if they can claim the GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) on a laptop purchased using their brother's student ID to get a discount. The shopkeeper advised against it. The consensus is that for business purchases, the item should be bought under the freelancer's own GSTIN to benefit from ITC, rather than using a relative's student ID.
