Dear Sir

as per Sec. 2(119) of CGST Act. “ Works Contract” means a contract for building, construction, fabrication ,completion, erection, installation , fitting out, improvement , modification, repair ,maintenance, renovation, alteration, or commissioning of any immovable property wherein transfer of property in goods ( whether as goods or in some other form) is involved in the execution of such contract .

input tax credit is not available to any taxable person who constructs on his own account even if it is for business use..

Thus , You can not take ITC for repairs & maintenance and electrical fittings etc

ITC is not admissible. I agree with Ms.Anita Bhadra, an expert. Repair & maintenance pertain to immovable property. Embedded into earth.

Sorry ,, there was a typing error in my previous message.. Ref the words in bold letters..

Works contract under GST is limited to contracts to do with Immovable property. (ref sec.2(119) where it is clearly defined).

Sec.17(5) of CGST act mentions clearly that " works contract services when supplied for construction of immovable property is ineligible for credit except where it is for further supply of works contract services.

In your example the output services like restaurants, halls, cafeteria etc are not works contract services and therefore you are not entitled for credit on your repairs and maintenance, electrical works and related..

Pls refer definition of WCT 2(119) and Sec.17(5) for clear understanding.
