Is this your main business. One of the condition for input tax credit is purchases should be in course of or furtherance of business.

To establish furtherance of business in this aspect is a hard nut to crack.

Dear expert,

As per section 17(5) (b) of GST Act there are specific restriction on ITC on food and beverages, outdoor catering etc. even though all expenses are for business purpose and it is mandatory to maintain Canteen in factory as per Factories act 1948. ITC will not be available.
