Input tax credit means when u purchase some goods then you have to pay some tax.
And when you sale some goods then you receive some tax. you have to deposited that tax to govt. if you have already paid tax on purchases then that amount of tax u can claim from output tax.
Example ; -
Purchase raw material for Rs. 100000 and tax paid Rs. 10000.
Sales - Rs. 150000, Tax collected Rs. 15000.
Now you have already paid tax on purchases of Rs. 10000. This amount of credit you can take while paying output tax.
Now net tax payable to govt = Rs. 15000 - 10000 = Rs. 5000.
