Quick Summary
Generally, Input Tax Credit (ITC) is not allowed on motor vehicles or their associated insurance, repairs, and maintenance under Section 17(5). However, there are key exceptions. Businesses involved in supplying motor vehicles, transporting passengers, providing driving training, or using vehicles for goods transportation can claim ITC. If your trading company uses a vehicle solely for business purposes like booking parcels and collecting goods, you may be eligible to claim ITC on its insurance and maintenance costs.

As per Section 17(5), ITC is not allowed on neither on Motor Vehicles nor on their Insurance, Servicing, Repair and Maintenance.

But there are some Exceptions is which assessee can take ITC on Motor Vehicles as well as their Insurance, Servicing, Repair and Maintenance:-

1) Assessee is engaged in the business of Supply of such motor vehicles.

2) Assessee is engaged in the business of Transportation of Passengers.

3) Assessee is engaged in the business of providing Training of driving such vehicle.

4) Assessee is using such vehicle for the purpose of Transportation of goods from one place to another.

If any assessee is using any motor vehicle, apart from the above four scenerios, then in that case ITC shall be Ineligible.

Thanks
ITC available if it is used in delivering Goods.
If the motor vehicle is being used for Transportation of Goods, then you can claim Input Tax Credit ( ITC ) on Insurance, Repair and Maintenance Services of Motor Vehicles. Refer Proviso to clause (ab) of Section 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017.
