Time Limit for reclaim of ITC
I have procured goods in July 2017 and payment not made to the vendor but claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) against the bill. As per the act ITC can be claimed only the payment should be made within 180 days else ITC should be reversed with interest. As per the CGST ACT I have reversed now, but the payment will be made only in March 2019.
Will I be eligible to take credit on these bills in march 2019 ?
Answer : yes , you will be eligible to claim ITC as no time limit for re-credit
