Dear All
Please help me with this query. The company procures and sells goods within Maharashtra.
The query is: Is there any time limit within which the input credit on goods purchased within the state should be utilised against the goods sold in maharashtra?
Please clarify with appropriate rules or notifications.
Thanks in Advance!
No There is no any time limit for credit...........but you should take credit within that Financial year
Dear Deepak!
If you say the input credit should be claimed in the same financial year that again becomes time bound na?
Also, say suppose, I have excess credit at at the time of filing return in March, do you mean to say I cant carry forward that excess credit to next year?
Please substantiate with the relevant rules.
Ya you Cant Carry Forward For next year , you Can claim that as a refund in last return

Deepak!

2. In view of the difficulties that are being faced by the trade, it was administratively decided to allow carry forward of the refund for the return period ending March-2009 to first return of the next Financial Year i.e. 2010-11 and likewise this concession was also provided for the year 2011-12 vide Trade Circulars cited at reference.
3. The department has received representations from the Trade and Associations with a request to allow the carry forward of the refund claim for the return period ending March 2012 to the next year 2012-13.
4. In view of the above, it is decided on the administrative grounds to allow carry forward of the refund claim upto rupees one lakh for the return period ending March-2012 to the first return of the next financial year i.e. 2012-13. In case, any dealer, who has already filed the claim of refund, for the period/ periods of 2011-12 in Form-501 and desires to withdraw such claim so as to carry forward his refund then such dealer shall file a revised return showing carry forward of such refund.
