Regarding ITC of GSTR2B

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the correct treatment of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for raw materials purchased in December 2021 but received in January 2022. The user experienced a mismatch between their GSTR2B for December and their actual ITC claim, as ITC is typically claimed upon receipt of goods. The advice provided suggests that ITC for goods in transit on closing dates should be claimed in the period of receipt (January 2022) rather than the period of purchase, as possession of goods is a key condition for claiming ITC.

19 January 2022 Possession of goods is one of the important condition for claiming ITC. In this case since the possession of goods is with you on the date of filing of GST return ITC can be claimed in December return.
