Dear experts, 

Wheteher flight tickets charges paid by the company towards employees official tour GST input is available? The employees submitted GSTIN of the company and credit is reflecting in the GSTR-2A. As per the Sec 17(5) of CGST Act it excludes the credit in respect of motor vehicles and other conveyance.

As per the Se2(34) of the CGST Act a vessel, an aircraft and a vehicle.

Hence, my query is, whether the air ticket charges are excluded by the definition of Sec 2(34) of the Act?

Dear Ganapati

I beleive 2 provisions have been confused together

1. 17(5)(a) deals with conveyance which are owned/procured by the business entity. No credit shall be available in that case other than for exceptions. It has nothing to do with flight tickets since credit is taken not for the conveyance as per Section 2(34) but on the service which has been received

2. Section 17(5)(b)(vi) deals with transactions which are non official in nature. Hence, credit shall be available
