GST Input for Last Financial Year

Hi All,

We have received one vendor invoice in March'21 and claimed the input accordingly, vendor has filed GSTR1 on time but GSTR-3B filed in October'21.

We have filed our GSTR 3B till September'21, now wanted to understand input will be laps (reject by Dept.) or granted ? Can we ask vendor for Debit/Credit Note and adjust the same in October month ?

Please suggest.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a query regarding the eligibility of GST input tax credit (ITC) for an invoice received in March '21, where the vendor filed their GSTR-3B in October '21. The consensus is that the ITC should be granted as it was claimed within the September '21 deadline. It's also suggested to ask the vendor for a Credit Note to adjust the GST amount. The discussion touches upon Section 16(2)(c) of the GST law and relevant case laws concerning vendor non-compliance.

GST will be granted, don't worry. For details please check your inbox.
No ITC will be available because ITC is available only that Sep'21 from End of FY 2020-21 or 1 year from Invoice date whichever is earlier.ie,ITC can be taken in Sep'21 Gst return.You can ask your vendor to issue Credit Note for the GST part...

Sec 16(2)(c) - recipient must ensure tax is paid to govt. Although, this was possible in GSTR 2 & 3 were enabled. In absence of a mechanism available from the govt. it cannot be expected that a recipient will follow up with all his vendors to check if their GSTR 3B is filed. And even if so it does not guarantee that tax on that invoice is paid without verifying the reconciliations. There are many case laws to support that recipient cannot be held liable for non-filing of GSTR 3B by vendors. 

If GSTR 2 reflection is there, valid tax invoice, payment against invoice made to vendor, receipt of goods/services - credit is eligible. As it was already claimed within Sep 21 deadline, ITC is fully eligible. 

Thanks a lot Sir !!
