If you've received a GST invoice in March 2023 but the goods haven't arrived yet, you cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) solely based on the invoice. The purchase should be recorded in your books of accounts for the financial year in which the goods are actually delivered, not the year the invoice was issued. Therefore, if delivery occurs in FY 2023-24, the purchase entry should be made in that financial year.
