Quick Summary
This discussion explores Input Tax Credit (ITC) restrictions for businesses trading both taxable pesticides and exempt agricultural seeds. While ITC on pesticides is generally claimable, common expenses used for both taxable and exempt supplies require proportionate reversal according to CGST Act rules. Even without capital goods, common services like rent or advertising may be subject to ITC restrictions based on turnover.

Yes, you can not claim full ITC
Yes you can claim ITC but incase of Capital Goods which are being used both for supplying Taxable Goods ( Pesticides ) as well as Exempted Goods ( Agricultural Seeds ), you have to reverse proportionate ITC and follow the Provisions of Section 17 and 18 of the CGST Act 2017.

Sir, The ITC relating to the expenses incurred for the sale of pesticides can be claimed but common expenditures incurred for both exempt sales and taxable sales like purchase of stationary, audit fee should be claimed proportionately on turnover basis. For detailed clarification read rule 42 & 43 of CGST Act and reversal of common credit.
Right Sir
