ITC will be blocked @ Mr. Mynampati...

As per Section 17(5) clause (a) of the CGST Act 2017, ITC on Motor Vehicles having approved seating capacity of 13 persons ( including the driver ) is BLOCKED. So you cannot claim ITC knowing the fact that it is being used in the course or furtherance of business. Section 17(5) overrides the Provision of Section 16(1) of the CGST Act 2017.
