Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility of claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on mess provisions when providing food and accommodation to employees for government works contracts. While generally not allowed, ITC may be claimable if the provision of a canteen is legally mandated, such as under the Factories Act. A specific ruling from Kerala is mentioned as a point of reference.

If the canteen is mandated as per law ( like factories act), the amended provision allows to avail the Input credit.
Further invite your attention on the Advance ruling passed at State of Kerala in the case of caltech polymers pvt Ltd
No you cannot claim ITC on mess provisions
We are providing Food to our Employees with company cost.So can we claim ITC on purchase of provisions.

suggest us in this regard
