A business is concerned about exceeding the 5% GST input tax credit (ITC) limit because invoices received in November were recorded in December. This timing difference caused a warning message when claiming ITC in December, even though the total ITC claimed was within limits. The advice given is to ignore the warning, as the business is only claiming unavailed ITC from the previous month. It's recommended to perform monthly reconciliations of ITC as per company books and as per GST returns (2A/2B).

Practical problem is Nov invoices reflected in Nov 2A but our co recorded it on 1st and 2nd Dec while actual material received. So while claiming input in Dec 2020 the limit of 5% gets exceeded...what to do? In short problem is input appeared in Nov but we are claiming it in Dec is there any issue?
