Transitional Credit, Goods and Services Tax - GST

Issue Id: - 115472

Transitional Credit


  • Contents

Respected experts,

We had purchased certain inputs in the month of June, 2017.

The inputs were received and consumed in the same month.

The bills were raised by the supplier in the month of June, 2017 but were received and accounted in July, 2017.

We claimed Cenvat Credit in GST TRAN-1 which was filed within the stipulated time.

The Department is proposing to dis-allow the same on the ground that we should have claimed it in the monthly return of June, 2017. Transitional provisions are not attracted when input are received and consumed in the pre-GST regime.

Similar is the situation for services received and consumed in June, 2017.

Please give your valued views.

The department's view appears to be not correct. It is a matter of 'time factor'. Credit cannot be denied on the procedural or technical ground. You have paid duty/tax and you have used the same in the manufacture of taxable/dutiable goods. Still I am of the view that the department may issue show cause notice. Relief is possible only through litigation.You can easily trace out the decision of AAR in your favour.

The question raised by Sh.Himansu Sekhar Ji is very very relevant. Experts can help you if full facts are disclosed here. More questions arise like (i) What is the date of invoice ? (ii) What is the date of entry in the books of account ? What is the date at the entry gate ? How did it happen ? There may be many factors for such delay like natural causes and un-natural causes. If transaction is genuine, credit cannot be denied on the basis technical or procedural lapse. Pl. answer the queries so that the experts are able to help you.

You statement states that input received and consumed in the June 2017 but invoice received in July 2017. This seems to be incorrect because unless you have invoice you cannot account it in the books. Goods in transit case is different.

I have made all-out efforts to trace out case laws in your favour. There is no case law or decision of AAR on this very specific issue. However, I am of the view that there are so many documentary evidences in your favour. Credit cannot be disallowed on procedural lapses. You have not caused any loss to the revenue. You will have to face the litigation and I am cock-sure that decision will be in your favour. There is no other escape route. The issuance of SCN by the department is certain.
