Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) is permissible if a nil return was filed for a particular month, even if the ITC appeared in GSTR-2A. The consensus is that claiming ITC is generally fine, provided it falls within the eligible period for the financial year. However, the reason for filing a nil return when there were inward supplies is questioned, with advice to file inward details for better compliance.
Let's an example. I filled nill return in Feb 2020 for the month of nov2019 (late file) but I claimed itc for the same month (Nov 19). itc reflected in 2A . question is that claiming itc is against the GST law of I filled nill return ?
Yes... No problem for Your filings. As per GST rules we can claim ITC for the FY 19-20 up-to Sep-20 GST returns (20/10/2020** the dates are now changed state wise). So, You claim ITC as per GST act...
But, Why You filed nil return & when You filed that nil return...?
