Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on employee reimbursements for expenses like conveyance, travel, and hotel accommodation. While generally not allowed for employee benefits, ITC may be claimable for business-related travel if the vendor raises an invoice directly to your company and includes your GSTIN. It's crucial that the expenses are for business purposes only, and all conditions under GST sections 16 and 17 are met.

No ITC will be allowed on employee benefits or employee reimbursements.

if expense are related to business ask vendors to raise invoice in your office name
You mean if we stayed in hotel room ,then if the vendor raised invoice against our company,then can we claim ITC on the same.

Hey ,

You can claim input tax credit on the railway ticket only if it is for your business purposes only.

As per section 16(1) ,

“Every registered person shall, subject to such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed and in the manner specified in section 49, be entitled to take credit of input tax charged on any supply of goods or services or both to him which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business and the said amount shall be credited to the electronic credit ledger of such person.”

So its very important to note that no input tax credit will be allowed for personal use.

Also it is important to note that your GST number should be on the ticket copy and they upload the same on GST portal

You can claim ITC if the invoice raised has your GSTIN. Also follow all the conditions of section 16 and 17 to claim ITC.
