yes u can claim, if such service is mandatory by law, for eg. if you have more than 250 employees you must have to provide canteen facility to your employees.
Yes ..if it is mandatory for you to provide to employees under any other law.. otherwise it is covered under blocked credit under section 17(5)

Dear Nayab,

To add on, in terms of notification no. 13/2018 - CTR dated 26th July 2018, GST rate for Canteen services would be 5% provided that credit of input tax charged on goods and services used in supplying the service has not been taken. \

GST rate for supply of food at Exhibition Halls, Events, Conferences, Marriage Halls and other outdoor or indoor functions that are event based and occasional in nature would be 18% with ITC eligibility.

In your case, if company is providing canteen services on regular basis to various entities, then you have to charge GST at 5% and ITC could be restricted.
