Inputs of Rs 20,000 received in factory in the month of June. However invoice dated 2 July was received on 4th July.
My view: I can take credit in June as credit is available as soon as goods are received ICAI Answer: Cannot be utilised in June as per proviso Rule 3(4) read with Rule 9(1)

ICAI view is correct. Material is received in the month of June but actual invoice issued on july, then you cann't avail credit in the month of June.

Cenvat Credit can be availed only on receipt of Input with Cenvat copy ( Duplicate for transporter copy) hence if material received in the month of June on Challan but Cenvat invoice issued in the month of July then you can avail this credit in the month of July onward within period of 1 year.
Rule 4. Conditions for allowing CENVAT credit.- (1) The CENVAT credit in respect of inputs may be taken immediately on receipt of the inputs in the factory of the manufacturer or in the premises of the provider of output service
