This test aims to ascertain if a property is integral to a business\u2019s operations and plays an essential role in generating taxable supplies. The case stemmed from the respondent being denied ITC on the construction of a shopping mall intended for commercial leasing. The tax authorities had cited Section 17(5)(d) of the CGST Act, which generally blocks ITC on properties constructed \u2018on one\u2019s own account\u2019. The SC had remitted the case back to the Orissa High Court for reconsideration. This reconsideration was to be based on whether the shopping mall could be classified as \u2018plant\u2019 under the newly introduced functionality test, thereby potentially allowing ITC. This interpretation suggests that if an immovable property is directly linked to taxable activities, such as renting or leasing, it may qualify for ITC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Jj5MtPXHLYuJeNNbHn43DqtloxovkkTD\/view?usp=sharing\"><em>(Link: SC Judgement Dated 20\/05\/2025)<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Kr7MaPxHw7ZCwg5tbE1l3Ui4t9CdB9c8\/view?usp=sharing\"><em>(Link: SC Judgement Dated 03\/10\/2024)<\/em><\/a><em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SC dismissed review petition of GST department regarding ITC on shopping mall:&nbsp;Case of Chief Commissioner CGST vs Safari Retreats Private [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gst","category-judiciary-gst"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>GST SC Judgement Dated 20\/05\/2025 - Bhatia Bhola &amp;
