Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) in FY 17-18. It explains that simply having an invoice reflected in GSTR-2A is insufficient for claiming ITC. Crucially, you must possess the original invoice and have made payment to the supplier to be eligible. Failure to meet these requirements means you cannot claim the ITC, and officers may raise a demand.
Further the even if you carry the invoice you need to pay the consideration to the supplier within 180 days otherwise you shall reverse the ITC along with Interest.
