Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on security services under GST. Generally, ITC can be claimed if the service provider has charged GST and it's reflected in your GSTR-2A. However, since January 2019, security services provided by anyone other than a body corporate are subject to the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM), meaning the recipient pays GST. If you receive services from a body corporate, you can claim ITC. If you're an educational institution with exempt income and received services from an individual who collected GST, you may still be able to claim ITC if it appears in your GSTR-2B or falls within provisional ITC limits.

Yes. You can. However With effect from 01.01.2019 Any Registered Person receiving security services (Service provided by way of supply of security personnel) from any person other than a body corporate is required to pay GST on reverse charge basis.
