Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on a phone purchased for a director. Generally, ITC cannot be claimed if the phone is used for personal purposes. However, if the phone is for business use, the bill is in the company's name, accounted for correctly, and has a valid GSTIN, then ITC may be claimable. Personal transactions are not business expenses, and the cost should be debited to the director's account, which appears under current assets.
Transactions which are personal in nature cannot be accounted as expenses of the company and hence no ITC can be availed in respect of the same. Debiting the same to the account of the director would be appropriate I think.
