Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on Diwali gifts provided to employees. Generally, ITC is not allowed on gifts given to employees, especially when the annual value per employee is below £50,000, as these are not considered 'supplies' under the CGST Act. However, if the value of gifts exceeds £50,000 per employee annually, it is treated as a 'supply', and ITC may be claimable. For gifts below this threshold, any ITC previously claimed on the merchandise must be reversed.

Yes correct a supply made to employees for less than 50000 is not supply as per schedule 3

So no ITC can be claimed for same

So no ITC can be claimed for same

Input Tax Credit ( ITC ) cannot be claimed for the goods which are being disposed of by way of Gift as it is specifically BLOCKED U/s 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017.

Moreover as per SCHEDULE I of the CGST Act 2017, If the value of the Gifts given to the employees exceeds Rs. 50,000, then it would be treated as a "SUPPLY". In this situation you can claim the ITC. But since in your case the value of the gifts is less than Rs. 50,000, you have to reverse the ITC claimed on your merchandise.
