Input Tax Credit - Inputs - Promotional Products/Materials & Marketing items used by the Appellant in promoting their brand & marketing their products - The goods procured on payment of GST which are disposed of by way of gifts are barred from being eligible for input tax credit in terms of Section 17(5)(h), even if they are used in the course or furtherance of business. Therefore, we hold that input tax credit is not eligible on the promotional items distributed as give away items on the grounds that the same is blocked by virtue of the provisions of Section 17(2) and Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act. - AAAR
