Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility for input tax credit (ITC) on GST paid for staff lunch facilities and transport services. The company charges employees a nominal fee for lunch and provides bus services, with GST applied by the vendors. The core question is whether ITC can be claimed on these expenses, considering Section 17(5)(b)(i) of the GST law which generally disallows ITC on food, beverages, and conveyance unless legally obligatory for the employer.

Acording to section 17(5) (b)i input tac credit in respect of food and beverages shall not be available

but input tax credit in respect of such goods and service or both shall be available where it obligatory for an employer to provide the same to its employees under any law for the time being in force
We are a company and providing bus (Cab) Service to our employee (Permant & off role) to come and go to office and home. So then in this case can we availed input Gst credit in GStR 3B. Whether Travel agent is charging Gst on his bills.
