As per the Provision of Section 16(2) of the CGST Act 2017, A Registered Person shall be entitled to take the credit of any input tax credit ( ITC ) in respect of any supply of goods or services or both to him when the following FOUR CONDITIONS are satisfied :

(i). Possession of a Tax Invoice.
(ii). "RECEIVED" the Goods or Services.
(iii). Supplier must have paid the Taxes.
(iv). He has furnished the RETURN under Section 39.

Therefore, since you have not yet received the goods ( Goods are in transit ), you cannot claim Input Tax Credit in the month of March 2020 according to the above mentioned Provision of the CGST Act 2017.

But I think this Provision has not yet been notified. The New Return System will be applicable w.e.f 01/10/2020.

No there is not even such proposal in budget presented on 1/2/2020 , so the question of Notification does not arise.

Agree with Mr. shivam. ITC claimed at the time of receiving goods. and not in the month of march.and theirs no notification regarding this . the link added is just a proposal made by an individual not by any authority and it also not notified.

@ Rohit Sir, kindly avoid these types of links. Many famous GST Return filing websites contain wrong information. I have seen it many times. Therefore before taking the final decision from Google related links, Consult with your Tax Adviser inorder to avoid any type of litigation.

Since Mr. Vishesh Surana confirmed that it has already been notified under Section 16, I wasted my 1 hour time regarding searching it in the Google and with my Teachers. So please post comments only when you are absolutely confirm Sir.

Possession of goods is one of the important condition for claiming ITC. In this case since the possession of goods is not with you, you cannot claim ITC
