Payment to a Party should be made within 180 days of Issue of Invoice
If not made within 180 Days, then ITC to be Reversed in month 180 days have expired
However, if we make payment later, we can again take this ITC which we have Reversed
Example 1
Suppose we purchased goods from Party on 1 May but we make payment to party on 1 June
When can we take Input
When do we need to Reverse Input
View AnswerWe can take Input on receipt of goods on 1 May
No need to Reverse Input as we have made payment within 180 days
Example 2
Suppose we purchased goods from Party on 1 May but we make payment to party on 1 Dec
When can we take Input
What is Last date of Making payment to Party
When do we need to Reverse Input
View AnswerWe can take Input on receipt of goods on 1 May
Last date of Payment to Party =1 May+180 Days =28 Oct
We have made payment on 1 Dec (after 28 Oct)
So we need to Revese Input in Oct Month Return with Interest
We can again take back input in Dec Return
Note
For Taking Input, Goods Receipt is Important
But for calculating 180 days, we consider 180 Days from Date of Invoice and not Goods Receipt Date
Example 3
Goods Sold by A to B on 31 May from shop.
B took the goods to his factory on 5 June
Payment not yet made
On what date is Input Available?
When do we need to Reverse Input
View AnswerInput is available on 5 June i.e Date of Receipt of Goods
What is last date of payment
View AnswerLast date of payment =31 May+180 days =27 Nov
(and not 5 June +180 days)
So we need to reverse Input in Nov Return
