A registered taxpayer's Input Tax Credit claim will be rejected if they have received it for the provision of goods and/or services but haven't paid the amount and the tax due within 180 days of the invoice's issuance. The Input Tax Credit validity the buyer has is 180 days from the invoice issue date to pay for the supply of goods and/or services.
In Budget 2023, Section 16 mandates that customers who fail to pay their suppliers the invoice value, including the GST amount, must pay interest, an amount equal to the ITC claimed. Once the supplier has been paid, the ITC claim can be submitted again. The Input Tax Credit that was already claimed and any interest due under Section 50 must be paid to the government. The re-availing of ITC is not subject to any time limit.
This ITC reversal must be included in the GSTR-3B return that is submitted after 180 days have passed since the invoice's issuing date. However, supplies for which GST is due on a reverse charge basis are not covered by this clause.
Only some supplies are eligible for ITC claims by GST taxpayers. ITC can only be claimed on goods and services that are provided for business purposes and not for personal use, to be more explicit. These claims are also subject to a number of restrictions, such as a deadline of 180 days from the invoice's issue.

Input Tax Credit (ITC) is a mechanism that allows registered taxpayers to claim a credit for the taxes paid on goods or services used for business purposes. In simpler terms, when a business purchases goods or services that are subject to GST (Goods and Services Tax) or other indirect taxes, they can claim a credit for the taxes paid on those purchases when they file their tax returns. This credit can then be used to offset the tax liability on their sales or output.
