Summary: Input Tax Credit (ITC) rules, under Section 17 of the GST Act, address how credits should be managed when goods or services are used for both business and non-business purposes, as well as for taxable and exempt supplies. Section 17(1) restricts ITC to the portion used for business purposes, while Section 17(2) limits ITC for mixed use to only the part attributable to taxable supplies, including zero-rated supplies. Rule 42 outlines the method for apportioning ITC. ITC linked to personal use or exempt supplies must be excluded, and only eligible credits are allowed in the electronic credit ledger. For common inputs and input services, credits must be apportioned, with a portion reversed for exempt supplies and personal use. The remaining ITC is then attributed to taxable supplies, including zero-rated supplies. Any ITC related to exempt supplies must be reversed under Section 17(2), ensuring that only credits used for taxable business activities are claimed.

Section 17(1) – Where the goods or services or both are used by the registered person partly for the purpose of any business and partly for other purposes, the amount of credit shall be restricted to so much of the input tax as is attributable to the purposes of his business.

Section 17(2) Where the goods or services or both are used by the registered person partly for effecting taxable supplies including zero-rated supplies and partly for effecting exempt supplies, the amount of credit shall be restricted to so much of the input tax as is attributable to the said taxable supplies including zero-rated supplies.
