Yes. ITC can be utilized towards any taxable outward supply of goods or services. Credit is substantive right. Only two basic conditions are there:-

GST must be paid on supply of inputs/input service and must utilised towards supply of outward taxable goods or services, if otherwise eligible.

Input tax credit is eligible if the input is used in course or furtherance of business. Trading and giving vehicle on hire is two different business . input tax credit for trading business is not in course or furtherance of service of giving vehicle on hire . the input does not seems to be in course or furtherance of business . Hence in my view credit is not eligible .

Sir,

Here the question is whether ITC of inputs ( here of trading) can be utilized for payment of tax with regards, to services falling under SAC 9966. In this regards, I agree with the view of Sh. Kasturiji, as there is no restriction for utilization of eligible ITC.

Further, SAC 9966 can be classified under rent-a-cab service, therefore, ITC cannot be availed in terms of Section 17(5)(b)(iii). Further, it would very difficult to establish the nexus with regards to during the course or furtherance of business.
