Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility of Goods and Services Tax (GST) Input Tax Credit (ITC) for staff insurance and company car insurance. Generally, ITC on motor vehicles is blocked under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. For staff insurance, ITC is also typically blocked unless providing such insurance is a legal obligation for the employer under specific laws. However, exceptions may apply, particularly if government mandates such insurance due to circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.

As per the Provision of Section 17(5) clause (a) of the CGST Act 2017, Input Tax Credit ( ITC ) on Motor Vehicles is specifically BLOCKED.

In General, Life Insurance or Health Insurance is Blocked by virtue of clause (b) of sub section (5) of Section 17 unless it is obligatory.
