Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the eligibility of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for various business expenses. It confirms that ITC can be claimed on travel and accommodation bills for staff and directors attending company-related foreign meetings. However, ITC is generally not claimable on festival-related purchases like sweets for Diwali or Holi, as these are considered personal expenses. Advertising costs for company purposes, such as on platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn, are eligible for ITC, especially within the agriculture business sector.
