I had purchased two tipper vehicles of Mahindra Trucks and Buses from local dealer at Jamshedpur in July and October 2017. I have the GST tax invoices copy but they don't have my GST no. mentioned. Dealership has shut his shop around Dec 2017 and recently NPA and DRT process has started against him. I have been following up with him since long but he didn't respond. I was unable to claim any ITC due to this. Is there any way I can claim ITC now? I had registered for GST for this same very purpose and since I didn't get any ITC my C.A. has filed zero return all along in my firm. I have got the dealership gst no. 20ABYFS1756Q1ZC checked and he too has not filed all his returns of 2017. He kept saying his gst his locked and he can't ammend anything as his accounts person had all his details of gst portal and even gst login details reset option sends otp to mobile no. and email which are not active now. Is there any way now that I can claim ITC on purchase of 2017 as I am not getting any ITC of around 14lacs because of fraud dealer and misguidance from my C.A. I wrote to Mahindra in July 2018 and even contacted their representatives before that but they didn't help.

Individual Faces Hurdles in Claiming ITC and TCS Due to Dealership Issues; Advised to Seek Legal and Tax Guidance An individual purchased two tipper vehicles in 2017 but faced issues claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) due to missing GST registration numbers on invoices and the dealership's closure. The individual sought advice on claiming ITC, despite the dealership's non-compliance and the time-barred status. A forum respondent suggested gathering documentary evidence and pursuing relief through litigation, possibly involving appellate authorities if manual application to the tax department is rejected. The individual also faced issues with Tax Collected at Source (TCS) not being deposited by the dealer, affecting their Income Tax Return (ITR). The respondent advised consulting a tax expert to address these complexities. (AI Summary)
