Cranes and HVAC were characterised as plant and machinery, supporting the secondary steel's eligibility. Concerning advances, the AAR ruled that time-of-supply principles in s.13(2) render receipt of advance as deemed receipt, and therefore ITC on supplier invoices for advance payments may be availed subject to the temporal limitation in s.16(4) - i.e., before 30 November following the FY or on filing the annual return, whichever is earlier. en-us Fri, 12 Sep 2025 08:45:31 +0530 Fri, 12 Sep 2025 08:45:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92456 The AAR held that the applicant's transaction constitutes a composite "works contract" under s.2(119) CGST, permitting ITC only on the structural steel/plant-and-machinery component as delineated in the contract Cost Abstract/Bill of Quantities, and not on civil or sheeting components.
