As per sec 16(4) of the CGST Act,2017, recepient cannot avail ITC after the due date of Sep month return of next year or the date of furnishing annual return which ever is earlier.

Since in your case, due date of sep 2019 return had already been over on 20.10.2019, you CANNOT avail ITC relating to a bill of FY 2018-19. (March 2019)

If our service provider make the credit note and re issue the new tax invoice in current year?

Sir,

Time limit for issuing credit note by your supplier is also their sep month return or annual return whichever is earlier.

If he issues credit note before that time period, then he can reduce this Rs.100000 GST from his next month output tax liability as you have not yet availed ITC regarding that invoice. and later on he can issue one more invoice to you in this year.

As sep month return date is over, even if he issues credit note now, he cannot adjust Rs.100000 GST to his output tax liability. So, they may not raise a credit note as it is not practically good to them.

So, that ITC amount had been LAPSED and the same will be reflected in your annual return as lapsed credit.

Absolutely agree with Uma Sankar Sir's view.

As per the Provision of Section 16(4) of the CGST Act 2017, last date to claim ITC of Invoice or Debit Note is earliest of the following :

1). Due Date for filing September months Return.
OR
2). Date of filing Annual Return ( GSTR-9 ).

Since the due date for filing Return for the month of September 2019 has expired ( i.e. 20th October 2019 ), you cannot claim ITC now. It will be treated as "LAPSED ITC".
Thank you very much
