Generally no. Section 17(5) of the CGST Act blocks input tax credit on motor vehicles used for carrying up to thirteen persons (including the driver), with limited exceptions.
Credit is allowed where the vehicle is used for further supply of such vehicles, for transporting passengers, for driving training, or for transporting goods. Credit on goods transport vehicles is not blocked by this clause. Since your own use decides the position, confirm with your CA before claiming.
