Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on capital goods purchased by a contractor for use in a works contract. The consensus is that items like excavators, tipper trucks, and GI sheets used for site barricading are eligible for ITC, as they are capital goods and no specific restrictions apply under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act.

Dear  ,

All the items / goods mentioned are of capital goods in nature. 

According to section 2(19) of the CGST Act Capital Goods means goods, the value of which is capitalised in the books of account of the person claiming the input tax credit and which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of business.

Further there is no restriction on the above items in Section 17(5). 

Hence, all the goods mentioned are eligible for availing ITC.

 

 

Thank you so much for your concise and swift response.
