kindly guide me if there is any violation of provisions of Section 16(4) of CGST Act 2017.
Client's ITC Claim Violates Section 16(4) of CGST Act Due to Missed Deadline; Experts Suggest Legal Action A client received a notice for availing Input Tax Credit (ITC) after the deadline of October 21, 2019, which violates Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017. Multiple experts agreed there was a violation, as the deadline for claiming ITC for the financial year 2018-19 was October 20, 2019. Some suggested challenging the retrospective amendment that converted GSTR-3B from a statement to a return. Others advised seeking relief through the GST Council or filing a writ petition in court. The discussion emphasized the need for a collective approach and representation to authorities for resolution. (AI Summary)
