As per law, one of the condition to avail ITC is when you recieve goods or services.

since you have not recieved goods yet, you cannot avail ITC on the same.

Also, please ensure e-way bill and e-invoice provisions as well

Then what about 2b or 2a law for input mismatch when I will not take input as per 2b

U can not claim itc till u actually get the goods. even if u claim itc in may 2021 it will not be taken as mismatch. only misnatch will b in may 2021 which u can easily justify.

Claim ITC in May since you have received goods in May.

As for the mismatch, let it happen. Prepare proper reconciliations for future reference.

Once goods sold and tax invoice and also E-way raised, and payment made, goods belongs to the recipient. why we should not claim itc in the month of April, when we have all the valid documents?

The question of valid docs arises only when u actually recv the goods. until u physically receive the goods, ITC not allowed. u can check GST manuals / e-books.
