Pharmaceutical Machinery Firm Faces GST Credit Issues Due to Delayed Vendor Payment; Debate on ITC Eligibility Continues A pharmaceutical machinery manufacturer is facing a delay in vendor payment beyond 180 days, impacting their GST credit. They purchased a unit with terms of paying the remaining 10% after installation, which hasn't occurred. They have availed full GST credit, but the 10% payment remains outstanding. Responses suggest that since 90% of the payment, including GST, has been made, they can avail full Input Tax Credit (ITC). Some advise reversing the credit proportionate to the unpaid amount, while others argue that since the 10% isn't due, full credit can be retained. The discussion revolves around interpreting GST provisions regarding payment timelines and ITC eligibility. (AI Summary)
