You are not eligible to avail ITC since you are gifting the mobiles to your employees.

Hi Pankhi,
If you purchase mobile phones to gift to your employees for Deepawali, you will generally not be eligible to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on such purchases. Under GST law, ITC is not available on goods distributed as gifts, as they are considered personal in nature and not used in the course or furtherance of business (as per Section 17(5) of the CGST Act).
However, to explore other tax-efficient options, you could consider providing such benefits as part of an employee welfare or incentive program tied to business objectives, subject to detailed consultation with a tax professional.
