ITC on GST paid for Railway & Air ticket and hotel bills

[MohanLal tiwari]

Dear sir/s,

The services of ticketing & hotel are taken by individuals / representatives of the company, kindly advise how to get the booking done in the name and GST number of company for getting credit of ITC.

[Kishan Barai]

At the time of booking , please make sure you enter Company name in IRCTC or Paytm (Air Tickets booking with Cashbacks)

Dear Mr Barai

Thanks for quick reply but the booking through IRCTC is not allowing GST No. of the company.

If there is column 'legal status' , fill name of individual and against column of 'business status' fill name of company. If both columns exist, your problem will be solved. Try it.

Yes , i agree with the views of Sri Barai Ji and Sri Kasturi Sir. In order to get credit of GST you must ensure that the bills are in the name of the company and it bears GSTIN number of the service provider as well as that of your company. Thanks.

Thanks, Sri Kasturi Sir, I have checked and found it works. Hope the same shall be required in case of hotel or flight booking.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Yes. Tiwari Ji,. It will click for hotel and air ticketing also.Procedure is same.

AI Summary

Input tax credit on travel and hotel services requires invoices issued in the company's name showing GSTINs to claim credit. Input tax credit for railway, air ticketing and hotel services requires invoices issued in the company's name that show both the service provider's GSTIN and the company's GSTIN; where booking platforms lack a dedicated GST field, use available fields (for example, 'legal status' and 'business status') to ensure the company name and business identity appear on the bill so documentary requirements for claiming ITC are met.
