(vi) Transport of passengers by any motor vehicle designed to carry passengers where the cost of fuel is included in the consideration charged from the service recipient.

Provided that credit of input tax charged on goods and services used in supplying the service, other than the input tax credit of input service in the same line of business (i.e. service procured from another service provider of transporting passengers in a motor vehicle or renting of a motor vehicle), has not been taken.

[Please refer to Explanation no. (iv)]

Provided further that where the supplier of input service in the same line of business charges integrated tax at a rate higher than 5%, credit of input tax charged on the input service in the same line of business in excess of the tax paid or payable at the rate of 5%, shall not be taken.

Illustration: ‘A’ engages ‘B’ for transport from New Delhi to Jaipur in a motor cab for Rs. 1000. ‘B’, for supplying the said service, hires a motor cab with operator from ‘C’ for Rs. 800. ‘C’ charges ‘B’ integrated tax at the rate of 12% (Rs. 96). If ‘B’ charges ‘A’ integrated tax at the rate of 5%, he shall be entitled to take input tax credit on the input service in the same line of business supplied by ‘C’ only to the extent of Rs. 40 (5% of Rs. 800) and not Rs. 96.
