No. Credit in respect of above purchases cannot be claimed as per Section 17(5)(h).

As per this clause, credit on goods lost, stolen, destroyed, written off or disposed of by way of gift or free samples cannot be taken.

Cannot take in terms of 17(5)

I agree with the views of both experts.

The credit is blocked by section 17(5) and therefore you cannot claim GST credit.

Since it is not in furtherance of business, ITC not available as per Sec 17(5)..
