This discussion concerns the eligibility period for claiming Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) when payment was delayed due to the lockdown. Specifically, if RCM GST for March 2020 was paid in May 2020, the credit is generally admissible in the month of May 2020, after the payment is made. However, clarification is sought on whether the credit can be claimed for the March 2020 return period.
