- A contractor can avail the ITC on purchase of materials i.e. bricks, cement, steel, sand etc. provided he is also providing works contract services. 

- No ITC is available on purchase of motor vehicle. Also no ITC is available on repair & maintenance, insurance of such vehicle.

Yes, a real estate builder can avail ITC of building material but cannot avail ITC of vehicle purchased.

 

However, if the builder wants to charge GST at new concessional rates, he can't avail any ITC
