Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on calendars and diaries distributed to vendors and customers. The consensus is that ITC is not allowed, as such items are considered gifts or free samples. Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act 2017 specifically blocks ITC on goods disposed of in this manner, even if the original intent was for distribution and brand development.

No... ITC not available.
NOT ALLOWED...

ITC on goods disposed off by way of free samples, gifts etc; is specifically BLOCKED u/s 17(5) clause (h) of the CGST Act 2017.
I am of the opinion that items which were meant for supply for consideration but were given without any consideration fall under 17(5)... like items donated, or items given as gift to employees or consumed by the proprietor etc
But were the purpose of the goods was for distribution only, ITC should not be reversed
Brand development expenses are a primary business expenditure in present day scenario
