Tax paid on any service used for personal consumption is not eligible for ITC (Negative List).
If the service is used in the course of furtherance of business then ITC is allowed.
So it is important to determine whether the service is for furtherance of business or is it for personal consumption.

Dear expert,
We wish to send Product "A" (e.g. 100kg) for job work. To get final product "C" job worker will add Product B (50kg) on his own account (purchase by him) and he will raise tax invoice to us for his processing charges plus cost of Product "B". My query is:
Whether this transaction is in line with Job worker procedure under GST law( since 50% or raw material is procured by job worker himself)
