Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the eligibility of GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) for FY 2019-20 when the return was filed after the due date of 20th October 2020. Legally, according to Section 16(4) of the GST Act, taking ITC after the due date for furnishing the September return makes it ineligible. However, it's noted that in practice, such ITC is often availed without objection, provided it reflects in your GSTR-2A/2B.

Yes it's eligible.
Legally speaking it is ineligible since you have filed after due date.

Dear Sir,

Can you please elaborate on which basis we can consider it as eligible?

yes correct legally you are not allowed as in section 16(4) person is not allowed to take itc after the DUE DATE of furnishing of 3b (u/s 39) for the month of september following the fy.

As the due date is 20th, October for Sept.month return.so as per law its ineligible but as everyone availing the credit & officer is also not objecting it.

note : make it sure that it reflecting in your 2A/2B

 

As per law it is ineligible
