Operational and maintenance charges not being in the nature of works contract or immovable property, can be availed unless restricted elsewhere in Section 17(5).

As such it is not allowed as per section 17(5). But there is a favourable judgement of Orissa High Court in the case of Safari Retreats. However the same has been challenged in Supreme Court.

Take professional opinion in this regard.

Used for maintenance in movable assets -ITC Eligible.
Better check the scenario.
