This discussion clarifies that Input Tax Credit (ITC) for services related to pre-GST registration cannot be claimed. While ITC on inputs in stock, finished goods, or semi-finished goods is permissible under Section 18, input services are generally not eligible. However, if the time of supply is after your GST registration and the invoice includes your GSTIN, ITC may be claimable.
