A client filed their GST 3B for September 2018 in November 2019 and is now asking if they can still claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for that period. They have also received a notice from the GST department regarding the reversal of ITC for September 2018. According to Section 16(4) of the GST Act, ITC claims must be made by the due date of the September return or the annual return filing, whichever is earlier. Therefore, the notice is likely valid, and the primary recourse is to file an appeal. It's crucial to provide a proper reply to the GST notice.
