The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued a notification to allow Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims and amendment of invoices till 30th November 2022.

From last week, the GST portal has started allowing the amendment related to FY 2021-22 in October 2022 return period. This in line with the recent amendment in the GST Law wherein amendment can be done up to 30th Nov. of the next FY.

A notification issued on Tuesday stated that “In the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the said rules), in FORM GSTR-9, under the heading Instructions, in paragraph 7, – (A) for the figures, letters and words “between April, 2022 to September, 2022”, the figures, letters and words “of April, 2022 to October, 2022 filed upto 30th November, 2022” shall be substituted; (B) in the Table, in second column, – (I) against serial numbers 10 & 11, for the figures and words “April, 2022 to September, 2022”, the figures, letters and words “April, 2022 to October, 2022 filed upto 30th November, 2022” shall be substituted; (II) against serial number 12, for the figures and words “April 2022 to September 2022”, the figures, letters and words “April, 2022 to October, 2022 upto 30th November, 2022” shall be substituted; (III) against serial number 13, for the figures and words “April 2022 to September 2022”, the figures, letters and words “April, 2022 to October, 2022 upto 30th November, 2022” shall be substituted.”

As extended by the Government, from time to time, 30th November is the deadline for making GSTR-1 amendments and claiming pending input tax credit (ITC) for FY 2021-22. However, the actual due date is dependent on November’s GSTR-1/GSTR-3B filing deadlines (i.e. pertaining to October’s return period). If a taxpayer misses the relevant deadlines, the GSTR-1/3B cannot be revised. Pending ITC for FY 2021-22, if any, will be forfeited.
