Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on sponsorship payments. If a corporate entity sponsors an event and raises an invoice under forward charge, the recipient is generally liable for tax under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). However, if the sponsor is a non-corporate entity and invoices under forward charge, ITC may be claimable if all four conditions under Section 16 of the CGST Act are met and the activity is in furtherance of business.

If the 'party' is a corporate entity, then the 'party' need to pay the tax on RCM basis i.e. no need to raise invoice (under forward charge). But hereincase, if the 'party' is non-corporate entity and as you mentioned they raised invoice to you on forward charge, it is fine. With respect to eligibility, if it fulfills the 4 principal conditions of section 16 of CGST. In my opinion, you can avail the credit, provided all the conditions are fulfilled.

Yes as per Notification 13/2017 CT (r) , Recepeint of sponsorship services is liable to do RCM in case it is Body corporate or Partnership Firm .

So if above conditions is not fulfilled then ITC can be claimed, but make sure that the activities/transaction should be in course or furtherance of business. (Refer Section 16 of CGST Act)

recipient of sponsorship service is body corporate..

but we fulfill al the 4 conditions and activity is done for furtherance of business
