credit?
Solution:
Input
tax credit is not available on goods or services received by a taxable person
for construction of an immovable property on his own account other than plant

construction includes reconstruction, renovation, additions or alterations or
repairs to the extent of capitalization to the said immovable property. If the
cost of interiors is capitalized towards the cost of immovable property then it
forms part of the cost of immovable property (Service apartment) and
accordingly taxes paid on change of interiors of service apartment will not be
eligible as input tax credit.
