Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) under GST can be claimed for invoices received more than 180 days after their issue date. The consensus is that ITC can be claimed if the invoice is booked and the credit is claimed in the GSTR-3B return for September following the financial year the invoice pertains to. After this deadline, as per Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, the ITC will no longer be available.

22 September 2020 If invoice received late i.e. after 180 days from the date of invoice, then GST ITC can be claim ? Payment is pending ?

e,g, Invoice date 25.01.2020 and received on 10.09.2020, so can we take GST ITC while booking invoice ?
[Note: payment will be pay after booking above invoice ]

any invoice or debit note for supply of goods or services or both after the due date of
furnishing of the return under section 39 for the month of September following the
end of financial year to which such invoice or such debit note pertains or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier."
