Section 17(5)(c) and (d) of the Central Goods and Services Tax...

Section 17(5)(c) and (d) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, which restricts input tax credit on GST paid for purchase of land and construction thereon, has been upheld by the Supreme Court. The petitioner sought to claim input tax credit on GST paid for land purchase and construction. However, the issue is no longer res integra and is covered by the Supreme Court's decision in Chief Commissioner of Central Goods and Service Tax & Ors. Versus M/s Safari Retreats Private Ltd. & Ors., where the constitutional validity of these provisions was upheld. The petitions are disposed of, allowing the petitioners to file claims for availing input tax credit, which shall be considered in accordance with law.
