Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the availability of Input Tax Credit (ITC) and depreciation on capital goods, specifically a laptop purchased for office use. The response highlights that ITC is generally available, provided all conditions under Sections 16(1), 16(2), and 16(4) of the CGST Act 2017 are met. It also advises referring to Section 38 for amendments, Section 17(5) for blocked credits, and Rule 36 for ITC requirements, as well as Section 16(3) for depreciation. The importance of checking the invoice date for ITC eligibility is also stressed.

Input tax credit is available, subject following section and rules of the CGST Act 2017
