You can claim ITC on Fire Insurance taken on Office Building as it is an expenses which is used in the course or furtherance of business. Fire Insurance is not BLOCKED under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017.
It is under blocked credits
@ KRISSHNAN KP Sir, Fire Insurance is not BLOCKED under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017. What is Blocked is LIFE INSURANCE & HEALTH INSURANCE under clause (b) of sub section (5) of Section 17 of the CGST Act 2017.

Refer and Analyse the Provisions of the Act before replying any answer.
Yes agree fully with Mr. Shivam RC .

Note : As per the Query , the Insurance expenses has been capitalised to Building account & as per Explanation under section 17(5) the ITC not available to the extent of capitalisation , to Immovable Property . but that is only in case of CONSTRUCTION of Immovable property & insurance expense do not cover under the construction of Immovable property , so as replied above you can avail ITC .
