Last updated: 27 November 2025
Quick Summary
The Gujarat Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has ruled that Input Tax Credit (ITC) is admissible for capital goods and related services used to establish electricity transmission infrastructure, such as underground cables and equipment, even if these are installed outside the factory premises. The ruling clarifies that these items are considered movable 'plant and machinery' and do not fall under the blocked credit provisions of Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, provided the general conditions for ITC under Section 16 are met.
