Earlier Input tax credit claim or not after gst registration

This discussion addresses whether a business can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on goods purchased as an unregistered entity before their GST registration date. Generally, it's not possible to claim ITC on stock acquired before registration, especially if the original purchase wasn't recorded as a B2B sale. The standard procedure for claiming ITC on previous stock, like filing ITC-01, has specific time limits that are likely to have passed.
