GSTR-2: Can ITC on July dated invoice be claimed in August., Goods and Services Tax - GST

[CAPurnima Bothra]

What if i dont carry invoice for the month of july ;can i still claim ITC in the July month itself on the same since it has auto populated in gstr-2A. Moreover as per CGST act sec 42 such transactions will be treated as matched.Now if I cant avail ITC in month of July how will I claim the same in august month?Will supplier has to modify his GSTR-1 in this case? It would be great if you could quote section or any website link relating to mismatch report /GST MIS.

Yes. You can claim ITC for July, 17 in August, 17. ITC can be claimed within one year from the date of invoice.

Being upon your acceptance it will be transferred to credit ledger. There is no bar for a delay

Supplier has not to modify GSTR-1. When you file your GSTR.2 mention the amount of eligible ITC against Serial no. 3 or against serial no. whichever is applicable to you. All will be auto corrected, when you file GSTR-3 (Final) return. Section 18(2) of CGST Act provides that ITC can be availed within one year from the date of tax invoice.

Matching concept is adopted for allowing input tax credit.
