Itc on vehicle having passenger capacity upto 13 is blocked under sec 17(5). So itc is ineligible in your case.

Now since itc is blocked u can take deprecation upon gst component as per sec 16(3). So u can claim depreciation in 118000.

As per provision, GST can be claimed for vehicles only if (i) they are bought for resale, and (ii) they are bought for use in transporatation of passengers(Sub.to conditions) / Goods; (iii) they are bought for use in teaching of driving such vehicles.

So, if you are not doing business of transportation of passanger, than its blocked credit u/s 17(5). You can't take ITC.

As you have not taken ITC, you can capitalised full amount 1,18,000 to vehicles account, and can claim depreciation on 1,18,000/- @ prescribed%.
