17 February 2016 The input can be claimed, but please ensure that the creditor is paid off within 6 months from the date of the invoice. Further the credit may be claimed in the month of the invoice itself and carried forward.

In case of RCM the Input can be availed on payment of the duty since the GAR Challan is the input document and not the service provider's invoice.
