Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether GST input credit can be claimed for goods invoiced but not received during a lockdown period. According to Section 16(2) of the CGST Act, claiming input tax credit requires possession of an invoice, receipt of goods or services, payment of taxes by the supplier, and filing of returns. As goods were not received, the second condition is not met, making it ineligible to claim the credit at this time. Views on this matter are invited.

As per the Provision of Section 16(2) of the CGST Act 2017, INPUT TAX CREDIT ( ITC ) can be claimed only when all the following FOUR conditions are satisfied :

(i). Possession of a Tax Invoice.
(ii). RECEIVED THE GOODS or SERVICES.
(iii). Supplier must have paid the taxes.
(iv). Return must be filed.

Since you haven't received the goods from the supplier on account of Lock-Down , clause (ii) is not satisfied, hence not eligible to claim ITC now.

Different views, if any, invited.

Regards.
Not eligible to claim since goods has not been received
