One-to-one correlation is not requirement under CGST Acts/Rules. ITC can be utilised if you fulfill the condition of "being used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business" as per Section 16(1) of CGST. Other conditions laid down under Sections 16, 17 & 18 are to be complied with.

In support of my reply above, statutory force is as under :-

Section 49 (4) of CGST Act

 "The amount available in the electronic credit ledger may be used for making any payment towards output tax under this Act or under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act in such manner and subject to such conditions and within such time as may be prescribed."

Further only conditions mentioned under Sections 49 A and 49(5) of CGST Act are to be fulfilled.
