To claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for invoices from FY21-22, businesses must pay suppliers within 180 days of the invoice date. Failure to do so means the availed ITC will be added back to your output tax liability. However, you can reclaim the ITC once the payment is made, even if it's after the 180-day period or the September 30th deadline.

To claim ITC, the buyer should pay the supplier for the supplies received (inclusive of tax) within 180 days from the date of issuing the invoice. If the buyer fails to do so, the amount of credit they would have availed, will be added to their output tax liability.

Suppose GST invoice is of date 5.5.2021 and today we received the invoice we have passed the bill and make the payment before 30.09.2022, in that case ITC would be available.
Then the "invoice date" written in this statement will not affect it ""To claim ITC, the buyer should pay the supplier for the supplies received (inclusive of tax) within 180 days from the date of issuing the invoice. If the buyer fails to do so, the amount of credit they would have availed, will be added to their output tax liability.""
