- 1stly, 30th Nov of the following year or
- 2ndly date of filing annual returns.
The provisions of this section will also assist in preventing any legal disputes.
- According to the section 38 is completely revamped as ‘Communication of details of inward supplies and input tax credit’ in line with the Form GSTR-2B. It lays down the time, conditions or manner & restrictions for Input tax credit claims & has removed the two-way communication process in Goods and services tax return filing on the suspended Goods and services tax return in Form GSTR-2. As per section 38 of IGST act also states that GST Taxpayers will be give details of ineligible as well as eligible Input tax credit for claims.

Important information related to the change in ITC Claim within GST.
It is important to understand that Now scenario change. and, with it, GST procedures & norms also change on time to time. It’s natural for changes to happen because they help improve processes.
Similarly, we have seen a phase in Goods and Services tax law where:
- In case we have GST invoice, so you will receive input.
- If we have GST invoice However, but GST INPUT doesn’t reflect in GSTR 2A, you will still receive input within a limit.
- In case we have GST invoice. However, ITC doesn’t reflect in GSTR 2A, you won’t receive input.
- Lastly, we have GST Invoice & GST Input. Which is reflects in GSTR 2A, but ITC doesn’t show in GSTR 2B, so you won’t receive input.
However New scenario a new phase, where we won’t receive input even when GST invoice reflects in GSTR 2B. We might say that we are referring to situation where we receive goods a month after the bill has been issued by the vendor. So, it is important that your Goods and Services Tax is reconciled with books of account and GSTR-2B on monthly basis.
We are partially correct & we do understand. Why? Because of under section 38 has come into existence. It indicates that under the aforementioned conditions, even if the input appears in GSTR 2B, you will not be allowed to claim it as input.
