Canteen running for employees on subsidised basis -Can the employer claim GST input?

Dear all,

A retail firm with 10 branches runs canteen facilities on a subsidized basis for its employees in all branches. Additionally, it serves tea and coffee to its customers.

My question is whether GST input can be claimed on cooking gas, milk, and provisions.

Restaurants are now under the composite scheme with a 5% GST. If you fall under the same classification, then no, you cannot claim GST input credit.

Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
