Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on group insurance policies for employees. Generally, ITC on such policies is disallowed under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. However, an exception exists if the insurance is obligatory for the employer, either by state laws or other regulatory requirements. In such mandatory cases, ITC may be claimable.
This is specifically disallowed u/s 17(5) of CGST Act. So no ITC can be availed as such. However, if obligatory for the employer to provide such insurance, then ITC may be availed.
