Eligibility of Input Tax credit

During the Audit of our firm, Recovery has been demanded from the Audit team for the period prior to commencement of GST i.e. 1 july 2017. we had deposited the entire demand with applicable interest & penalty under RCM under CGST. My question is that if we can take input tax credit of the same or not ? if it is possible then how can we take ?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility of claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) for payments made under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) prior to the GST commencement date of 1st July 2017. While some advise that ITC is available if tax was paid under RCM and carried forward via forms like TRAN-1, others argue it's not permissible. The consensus leans towards the possibility of claiming ITC, provided the tax was paid and potentially carried forward from previous tax regimes, with suggestions to consult the GST office if deadlines have passed.

You can take as an ITC.

since it was belongs earlier enactment, you must file few to carry forward from earlier service tax ,vat etc to GST
Input Tax Credit not available...
TRANS-1 form
Due date or applicable date...?
Cash should be paid for tax liable to be under RCM.You can not adjust ITC against RCM liability.
But after making tax for RCM liability, the tax paid under RCM can be claimed as ITC.

So if that ITC is not availed in earlier enactment then it can be carried forward to GST through form Trans-1 and Trans-2.

If deadline is over then you may visit GST office
Mmm...
But, As per my view "ITC NOT AVAILABLE".
Reason
As per extended Due date is 31st Mar-19...
Latest Update!

7th Feb 2020:

GST TRAN-1 due date further extended up to 31st March 2020, where taxpayers could not submit before earlier deadline due to technical issues on GST Portal.
