\nIdeally in case of extensive use a car need to be replaced between 2-3 years and in case of lesser use it may be between 4-5 years. In case of self-driven cars with lesser use also ideally a car need replacement within 6-7 years.
\nAt the time of replacement the old car fetches about 15-20 % of cost of old car and new car of same model is priced about 15-20% higher of original cost. Therefore, there is consumption of capital cost of old car to the extent of 80-85%.
\nIn case of accidents met by car, its life can come to end at any time , therefore, life is also uncertain.
\nTherefore, one can also take a view that car is a consumable assets which is consumed within a short period

\nGround reality is that sale promotion is primary activity, unless reasonable sales projections a<\/p>\n

\n(2). Even if ITC is not available the entire cost of the capital asset is capitalised and allowed as depreciation for the professioanls (which is inclusive of any GST paid on them) and as such there is no loss on account of denial of such ITC to the professioanls as claimed.
\n(3). The fees or service charges levied by the professioanls on thier clients are not in any way related to the extent of usage of motor vehicles as it is detremined by the time and effort in rendering such services. Unlike other businesses, services by professionals are not cost based but skill based and market related. The moot question is how and by what mechanism the ITC or part of it is going to be passed on their clients
\nI sincerely feel that the demand is not justified
