AAR ruled that the applicant cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for IGST on imported warranty parts where the foreign supplier (M/s. MUEGGE GmbH) paid the tax. Despite importing parts in the applicant's name for warranty services, the ITC cannot be availed since the tax was discharged by the foreign supplier, and the invoice for warranty service did not include spare parts cost. The ruling interprets section 16 of CGST Act, 2017, denying ITC eligibility based on the specific transactional arrangement between the parties.
