FAQ :
The department has issued a circular mandating strict verification of Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims for businesses that obtain GST registration after the prescribed 30-day period.
This is in response to concerns, including those raised by the CAG, about potential wrongful ITC claims on pre-registration stock when registration applications are filed beyond the statutory 30-day limit.
ITC claims related to the period before the date of application will be rejected if registration was sought after the 30-day limit.

The move aims to plug potential revenue leakages and ensure that Input Tax Credit benefits are only extended to businesses that comply with the statutory registration timelines.
