16 January 2023A mobile handset has been purchased by the company in order to gift it to one of its clients for business promotion purpose. There is a proper invoice from the GST registered dealer supplier. But is ITC eligible to be claimed on this ? Please clarify .

ITC has been expressly denied on items disposed off as gift. However it is a debatable issue since it is only for business promotion which forms part of in the course of or in furtherance of business. But the irony is that the GST law has not distinguished such transactions and there is no ruling available in favor so far.
