GST Input tax credit with student discount

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.

Laptop is for Business  purpose  or personal  purpose , please  Clarify .  

Business purpose, for my freelancing business

You business means you are the entity so why are you using you brother Id. You need to purchase on your GSTIN it will be benificialto you.
