Quick Summary

A recent ruling by the Maharashtra Authority for Advance Ruling (MAAR) has determined that housing societies cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for works contract services used in repairs, renovations, or rehabilitation for their members. The MAAR found that these activities are considered the provision of facilities to members, not the supply of works contract services. Consequently, the housing society is not eligible to claim ITC under Section 17(5)(c) of the CGST Act.
