for the purpose of taking input credit on capital goods the capital goods has been defined as follows; Capital goods means plant, machinery and equipment which are used either directly or indirectly for the purpose of trade. The act has used the word of capital goods not the capital assets. the capital assets word has a very wide meaning . it includes capital goods. it includes all type of capital assets. but capital goods refers to those assets only which are used in the process of trade. it does not include the furniture. motor vehicle etc. So you are not entitled to claim input credit on the purchase of car
