Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that you can indeed claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for GST paid on both stock insurance and shop insurance premiums. As long as these insurance policies are used for business purposes and are not specifically blocked under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, the ITC is claimable, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 16 of the CGST Act.
Every registered person, shall be entitled to avail input tax credit if the goods and services received is used or intended to be used for business purposes subject to fulfilment of condition of section 16 and Except it's blocked as per Section 17(5) General insurance is not blocked as per section 17(5) So, you can take credit on same.
Yes Sir you can claim ITC on Stock Insurance as well as Shop Insurance since it is an expense which is for the furtherance of business.
