ITC on RCM GST for legal charges paid in August can be taken in August itself, if the payment is made and reflected in that month’s GSTR filings.
Section 16 of CGST Act specifies that ITC is available only after the tax is paid and all other procedural requirements (such as raising a self-invoice) are done. ITC will then be credited in that same month’s electronic credit ledger.
