Section 17(5)(h) CGST ACT

Section 17(5)(h) reads as under:
[h] goods lost, stolen, destroyed, written off or disposed of by way of gift or free samples;
it means all the ITC on purchases used in above specified goods shall be blocked and ITC can not be taken for the same.

Section 17(5) is the blocked credit .
17(5)(h) states that if goods lost stolen or destroyed or written off or dispose of by gift or free sample
you cannot claim ITC.
i.e there is no further supply and government is loosing revenue in form of GST.
if ITC is already taken then reverse the same with 18% interest !
if you have paid GST on free supply then no need to reverse ITC

Dear Sir,
If the goods are lost due to fire, then are we required to reverse the ITC claimed on those goods.
