A company ABC corp. is manufacturing  as well as is into trading of FMCG products. Both the business are being done under same GST registration number.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a company operating both manufacturing and trading activities under a single GST registration can utilise Input Tax Credit (ITC) from one segment against the liabilities of the other. The consensus is that there is no explicit prohibition in GST law preventing this. Therefore, ITC availed on goods used for trading can be used to pay the GST liability arising from the sale of manufactured goods, and vice versa, as long as both activities fall under the same GSTIN.

No there is no prohibition.
You can utilise ITC

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any specific section which governs the rules for what ITC can be utilized ?

No there is no restriction. ITC can be used for any business under the same GSTIN. 

No there is no such restriction mentioned in the Act, Hence the utilisation is implied. 

Since GST is levied on both manufacture and trading activity (unless exempted etc), ITC cannot be restricted.

No as per GST ABC corp can take Input tax credit (ITC) on all goods
