ITC on mobile handset

Quick Summary
No , You Can not claim input tax credit because Gift is blocked credit as per section 17(5)(H) of the CGST Act 2017 .
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.
Ok thanks for the replies.
According to Circular no. 92/11/2019 - GST, ITC on Business promotion expenses is not eligible under section 17(5)(h) of CGST Act, 2017.
