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.

Taxpayers liable for GST registration must apply within 30 days from the date they become liable.

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.
