Input tax FY 19 20

Time limit to claim ITC against an Invoice or Debit Note is earlier of below dates:

The due date of filing GST Return for September of next Financial year
OR
Date of filing the Annual Returns relevant for that Financial year

For instance, XY Corp, a buyer has a Purchase Invoice was dated 8th July 2019( FY 2019-20), wants to claim GST paid on that purchase. As per the criteria laid down to reckon the time limit:

The Due date of filing GST return for September 2020 is 20th October 2020 and the Date of filing GST Annual Return for FY 2019-20, whichever is earlier will be the time period within which XY Corp has to claim ITC.
Therefore, the date is 20th October 2020 and XY Corp can claim this ITC in any of the months between July 2029 to September 2020.

So, you can claim your ITC of F.Y 2019-20 in April, 20 to Sep, 20...any month GSTR 3 B but to be filed before 20th October,2020
