Quick Summary
Discussion on whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) is available on bank charges under GST. Views differ: some say ITC is allowed if used for taxable business, while others state no ITC on bank charges. Final clarity depends on GST law and availability of proper tax invoice from banks.

There are various bank charges
@ Gaddala Ramesh,

Yes, ITC can be avail if Your business supplies are Taxable.
Certainly! Let’s discuss Input Tax Credit (ITC) on bank charges under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.

Applicability of GST on Bank Charges:
Banks offer various services to their clients, such as processing loans, custodian services, RTGS/NEFT payments, and foreign exchange remittance services.
These service fees, including bank charges, fall under the GST scope and are eligible for ITC if used for business purposes.
However, since these charges are not explicitly listed on the bank statement, taxpayers often neglect to claim ITC1.
Exemptions and Place of Supply:
Some financial services are exempt from GST, as specified in Notification No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate). These include credit card services, interest on deposits, services by the Reserve Bank of India, and payment and settlement services.
The place of supply for bank services depends on the customer’s location. If an Indian customer receives services from a foreign bank, the place of supply depends on the bank’s location. Charges for such services are not subject to GST1.
Claiming ITC on Bank Charges:
Under the GST, any expense incurred while conducting business and related to selling taxable goods or services may be adjusted as ITC.
Section 17(5) of the CGST Act does not prohibit claiming ITC on bank charges.
Although banks do not provide tax invoices for these charges, the bank statements you receive are considered legitimate documents for claiming ITC on GST for bank charges
