Input Tax Credit - Canteen service - The two clauses in Section 17(5)(b)(i) and 17(5)(b)(iii) of the CGST Act, which governs the supply of goods and services, are not related by the punctuation used at the end of the provisions. “Colons and semicolons are two types of punctuation,” according to the concept, and “Semicolons are used to unite two independent clauses/sub clauses, or two complete thoughts that might stand alone as entire sentences.” Hence it can be said that ITC is not allowed on canteen charges even though it is obligatory under any other law. - AAR
