Normally, ITC is available on Capital goods on condition of that capital good has to be retain by you atleast 5 years. if the same is discarded before 5 year, proportion of same must be reversed. better to refer ur state VAT Act for knowing definition of Capital good.

Based on the details provided, here's an explanation regarding the eligibility of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for capital goods like chillers/freezers in the context of Delhi VAT and GST:
### **1. Eligibility for Input Tax Credit (ITC) on Chillers/Freezers**
**Under Delhi VAT (DVAT):**
1. **Capital Goods:** - As per DVAT provisions, ITC can be claimed on capital goods that are used in the manufacturing process. In your case, the chillers/freezers are used to store and serve finished goods (beer), which is a part of the manufacturing and sales process.
2. **Eligibility for ITC:** - You can claim ITC on the purchase of chillers/freezers if they are directly used for business purposes (like storing and serving beer). Since these are essential for maintaining product quality and are used in the business process, they qualify as capital goods.
**Under GST:**
1. **Eligibility:** - Under GST, the ITC on capital goods like chillers/freezers is also allowed. GST rules permit input tax credit on capital goods if they are used in the course of furthering the business.
2. **Usage:** - The chiller/freezer must be used for business purposes, and the GST paid on such capital goods can be claimed as ITC. This includes items used for storing or maintaining finished goods.
### **2. **Revising VAT Returns**
1. **F Forms and VAT Returns:** - **Revising VAT Returns:** In Delhi VAT, if you have not claimed the correct ITC in your original return, you may be able to revise the return to include the correct ITC after obtaining F forms. This is typically allowed within a certain period as per the DVAT rules. - **F Forms:** These forms are used for transactions involving the sale of goods to registered dealers in other states and may impact your ITC claims.
2. **Procedure:** - To revise VAT returns, follow the procedure as prescribed by the Delhi VAT authorities. Ensure you have all necessary documentation and supporting details for the revisions.
### **Summary**
- **Yes, you can claim ITC on the purchase of chillers/freezers** used for storing and serving finished goods (beer) under both DVAT and GST if the items are used for business purposes. - **You may revise your VAT return** to include the ITC if it was not claimed correctly in the initial return. Ensure you follow the proper procedure for revision and keep all documentation ready.
