The availability of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on motor vehicles is often a topic of confusion, but here’s a clear breakdown for easy understanding.

If you run a business that provides driving lessons, you can claim ITC for the vehicles used in your training school. However, if you buy a car for personal use or even for general business use (without meeting the above exceptions), you cannot claim ITC.
