GST expensed out and Eligibility of ITC, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Kaustubh Karandikar]

ITC not claimed in the F.Y. 19 – 20 and the entire amount was expensed out. Subsequently, in September’20, out of this, what was eligible, ITC was claimed on it and the entry passed in F.Y.19 – 20 for expensing out was reversed. Is it in line with the GST Provisions and therefore ITC allowed? In my view, ITC is allowed since entry is reversed subsequently. Views of the experts please.

I agree with your view on availing ITC. ITC on inputs is to be availed by September 30th immediately following the financial year and can be claimed. One has to ensure conditions listed in section 16 are fulfilled as applicable.

Agreed with the views.

Credit can be claimed in Sep month returns fo subseqent year. Ensure that the same was filed within the due date otherwise the department may disallow the credit
