Section 17 (5) had clearly debarred Input Tax Credit on motor vehicles or conveyances used in transport of passengers till the date of the amendment i.e. 01.02.2019. However with effect from 01.02.2019, Input Tax Credit has been allowed on leasing, renting or hiring of motor vehicles, for transportation of persons, having approved seating capacity of more than thirteen persons.

Thanks sir. One of the Exception, viz, (B) given to section 17(5)(a) in which case ITC can be availed is 'transportation of passengers'. Which are the passengers referred to? Whether office staff using buses provided by company does not come under this category of passenger?
