Drafting anomaly & reference in the Rule 3
Rule 3(b) of draft GST ITC Rules provides that banking company or a financial institution shall avail the credit of tax paid on inputs and input services referred to in the second proviso to sub-section (4) of Section 16 and not covered under clause (a).
Issue
The Rule 3 pertaining to claim of credit by a banking company or a financial institution makes wrong reference of provisions in clause (b). It is pertinent to mention that there is no proviso to sub-section (4) of Section 16.
Suggestion
It is suggested that the wrong reference so provided in clause (b) be corrected.
