Carry forward of Credit under GST regime

[Asked by Guest]

Sir,

What is the position of the credit in case of Purchases in Transit (Including Import), stock with Depot and Stock Transfer which are in Transit on the appointed day?

[KASTURI SETHI]

Dear Querist, Credit on purchases in transit on the appointed day would be allowed. Regarding the remaining points, no possibility of credit. However, any change in revised model GST Act can take place. Earlier, Sections were changed. So we will have to wait for the enactment of GST for authentic reply to every query on GST.

Let us wait for final version of GST law.

Whatever amount which had been shown in your Statutory Returns (VAT/Service Tax/Excise returns) would be allowed to be carried forward under GST regime. However, such portion of credit would be subject to checks and audit under respective VAT/Service Tax/Excise Laws and provisions made there under.

Final position will be freezed once the GST Law would come into final shape/version.
