Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a GST registered dealer facing a tax demand following scrutiny of their returns. The core issue revolves around the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed on purchases, where the supplier's GSTR-2A shows the invoice, but the department questions the actual movement of goods. The advice clarifies that if goods were indeed received and can be evidenced (e.g., via GR, e-way bill, or supplier undertaking), tax payment may not be compulsory, as the burden of proof for claiming ITC lies with the dealer.

If goods have been received and the same is proved with documentary evidence, then there is no requirement to pay any taxes.

Yes As per Section 155 of CGST Act , burden to proof is on the person who claim ITC.
So you need to provide relevant document that the goods are being reced . as it is one of the condition to claim ITC u/s 16(2).

(can provide copy of GR ,ewaybill or Undertaking from supplier)
