Eligibility for Input Tax Credit on Branded Promotional Gifts Denied Under CGST Act Section 17(5)(h) A user inquired about the eligibility for Input Tax Credit (ITC) on expenses for distributing branded items like bags, pens, and copies as part of a sales promotion under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework. One respondent, Kasturi Sethi, advised that ITC is not admissible since these items are considered gifts without a contract, referencing Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act. Another respondent, Ganeshan Kalyani, noted that while ITC is allowed for advertisements, it is disallowed for free items under Section 17. (AI Summary)
