Under Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, you must claim ITC for a financial year by the earlier of November 30 of the following financial year or the date of filing your annual return (GSTR-9). If you claimed ITC after this deadline, the credit is legally ineligible and cannot be recovered; you may be liable to reverse it with interest and penalties.
