ITC reversal of stock in case of death of proprietor

I have a query regarding ITC reversal of business asset (i.e. stock and capital goods) in case of death of proprietor.

If the children of diseased proprietor wants to carry the business then how he can claim the ITC which so reversed (on business asset) in diseased proprietor.
Please help on above query.

Quick Summary
If a business proprietor passes away and their legal heirs wish to continue the business, there's no need to reverse Input Tax Credit (ITC) on stock and capital goods. The business can be transferred as a going concern to a new GSTIN. The ITC can then be transferred to the new registration using the ITC-02 form after intimating the jurisdictional officer.

The legal heir will take a new registration. The business will be transferred to the new GSTIN. ITC will then be transferred via ITC-02

Sir my concern is that do we are really suppose to reverse the ITC of stock and capital goods lying on the day of death of proprietor ,where the children of diseased proprietor wants to carry the business.

No you don't need to reverse it.

You will have to transfer it to the new gstin.

n need to reverse the input tax credit of stock. in case business assets are transferred on going concern basis Para I of Sch I does not apply. In other words permanent transfer or disposal of business assets on death of properietor without consideration to legal heir on which ITC has been claimed does not amount to supply if business is transferred on going concern basis. Similarly provision of section 29(5) also does not apply in terms of notification dated 28.6.17 and Schedule III para 4C also makes an exemption in case of going concern so you are not required to worry.
