Generally yes. A laptop used in the course or furtherance of business is a capital good, and the GST paid on it is eligible as input tax credit if it is not in the blocked list.
You need a valid tax invoice in your GSTIN, the goods must be received, the supplier must have filed their return so the invoice shows in your GSTR-2B, and you must file your own GSTR-3B. Credit is not available on a laptop used only for personal purposes or for exempt supplies.
Also, do not claim depreciation on the GST portion if you have taken ITC on it. Confirm the specifics for your case with your CA.
