02 April 2020 Yes, ITC can be availed as the person is engaged in supply where service of transport is an integral part of contract for supply of goods. The supplier of goods is paying GST on the price of lignite including transport charges. Moreover, ITC on trucks does not fall under disallowed credit u/s. 17 of CGST Act.
