This discussion addresses the crucial question of whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed when an invoice has been issued but the goods have not yet been delivered. The consensus is that ITC can only be claimed after the actual receipt of goods. There are also implications regarding the time gap between invoice issuance and delivery, with a general guideline of goods being delivered within 30 days for ITC claims. If a significant delay occurs, such as over a year, the original invoice may need to be cancelled and a new one issued.
