Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that Input Tax Credit (ITC) cannot be directly purchased. ITC is claimed on business expenses like inputs, services, and capital goods. Generally, ITC is blocked for motor vehicles with a seating capacity of 13 or more, including the driver, under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. However, if a commercial vehicle, such as a truck, is used specifically for the transportation of goods, ITC can be claimed provided all four conditions under Section 16(2) of the CGST Act are met.
ITC stands for "INPUT TAX CREDIT". You cannot purchase ITC. You have to claim ITC on your inward supplies ( inputs, input services and capital goods ).
As far as your question is concerned, You cannot claim ITC on Motor Vehicles having approved seating capacity of 13 persons ( including the driver ) as it is a BLOCKED Credit under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act 2017. Moreover if the vehicle is being used for "transportation of goods", then you can claim ITC on Motor Vehicle ( Truck ) provided all the FOUR Conditions as laid down U/s 16(2) of the CGST Act 2017 has been satisfied.
