gst law not allowed for itc if give as diwali gifts 

amit ji now question comes that as per clause (h) of section 17(5) of cgst act 2017 , the input tax credit with respect to goods disposed of by way of gifts shall not be allowed, The definition of goods as per section 2(52) means every kind of movable property........ which are agreed to be served before supply or under a contract of supply. in order to call a commodity as goods, it is necessary that they are used for the purpose of supply. To call a particular transaction as a supply it should have consideration involved or the same should be mentioned under schedule 1of the act. There is neither any consideration nor is there any reference of gifts under schedule 1 except of those given to employees. in such circumstances, these Diwali gifts move out of the ambit of Goods from the perspective of business unit purchasing such gifts. it should be noted that the same Diwali gifts shall be treated as supply of goods for vendor who have sold such gift's as per section 16 what is required is that there should be tax charged on supply of goods by a vendor to tax payer. it nowhere restrict that such items which are purchased should also qualify as goods for the purchaser. therefore it can be construed that Diwali gifts fulfill the consideration of section 16 for claming of input tax credit

conclusion seems that tax paid on gifts of Diwali is eligible but Sweet's given or food and brevergaes given will not considered for itc

kindly reply SIR
