Rule 36(4) in case of lockdown for mar 2020-urgent

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses claiming input tax credit (ITC) under Rule 36(4) during the March 2020 lockdown. Due to the lockdown, a relaxation allows for consolidated GSTR-2A matching from February to August, rather than monthly. This means you can claim your full ITC as per your books, provided suppliers file by August. The CBIC has confirmed that GSTR-2A details from February to August will be cumulatively adjusted when filing the September 2020 return.

03 May 2020 For the purpose of Rule 36(4) ITC were to be matched with GSTR-2A monthly. But due to lockdown a relaxation has been provided that matching can be done on consolidated basis from the month of Feb to August. So you can take all the credits provided you ensure that they get filed by your suppliers till August

03 May 2020 Correctly explained. Cbic has vide not.no.30/2020-central tax dated 03.04.2020, details of gstr-2A from feb2020 to August 2020 shall be cumulatively adjusted at the time of filing return for the month of September 2020, hence no need to work out at this juncture. Avail full itc as per books .
