is it legal if i

make a gst sale on 25 sept(example) to someone and pay tax for that while i don't already hold the sold stock/items/inventory.
delivery the goods to the person next month after making purchase and claim itc also next month.
so basically inventory for that specific item will be negative for that month closing. (not FY)

thanks

Yes, you can go ahead.

As you are going to pay GST when the liability arises (Invoice is issued) and would claim ITC on purchases when you receive the goods, it is in compliance with the provisions of GST Act.

However, your customer can't claim the ITC in Sept month as he has not received the goods even though he is in possession of the invoice and tax has been paid.
