Ltd. - TMI Issues Involved:1. Eligibility of ITC on works contract services and materials for foundation and structural supports for specific machinery.2. Eligibility of ITC on steel (TMT bars) used in foundation for machinery.Summary:Issue 1: Eligibility of ITC on Works Contract Services and Materials for Foundation and Structural Supports for Specific MachinerySand Mill and Spray Dryer:The claim of ITC for the foundation and structural support for the Sand Mill and Spray Dryer is covered by the explanation 2 to Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, making the applicant eligible for ITC, provided it is not capitalized. However, ITC on the structure/shed erected on the left side of the Sand Mill and Spray Dryer is blocked as it falls under civil structure.HAG (Hot Air Generating Machine and Equipment):The foundation and structural support for the HAG machine are eligible for ITC under explanation 2 to Section 17(5), provided it is not capitalized. However, ITC on the roof and its supports over the HAG machine is blocked as it is considered a civil structure.ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant):The ETP is considered a civil structure, and ITC for its foundation and structural support is not allowed. This view is supported by rulings in the cases of Synergy Global Steel Pvt. Ltd. and Tarun Realtors Pvt. Ltd., where similar structures were excluded from the definition of 'plant and machinery.'Transformer:The applicant is not eligible for ITC on works contract services for the foundation structure on which the DG set is fixed to earth by foundation.
