CAN ITC BE CLAIMED ON INTEREST CHARGED ON DELAYED PAYMENT OF INVOICES BY VENDOR

Hi, I want to know if ITC can be claimed by recipient on interest charged on delayed payment of invoices by supplier . i cant find any circular or ruling for the same .. if anyone has any notification please share the details . 

eg. if a recipient pays after a certain due date, interest is charged for the same and as we know gst is applicable ,  and such interest becomes part of value of supply so can i as a recipient claim gst on it . 

I have asked this question as one gst Officer says that itc cannot be claimed on such interest , and has asked to prove this point  if we want to claim it

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed on the GST component of interest charged by a vendor for delayed invoice payments. While GST is applicable to such interest as it forms part of the supply value, there's debate on whether the recipient can claim ITC on this. One GST officer stated it's not claimable, prompting a search for official clarification or rulings on this specific scenario.

No input tax credit cannot be claimed
It's clear that gst is charged on interest for delayed payment where the interest becomes party of value of supply. For ITC, no where ITC is blocked in such scenario. So it's available. You may quote section 17 where there is no mention of the same being blocked

why can it be not claimed ?

I don't know
