Dear Sir/Mam,
As per Section 16 (15) of the MGL, ITC cannot be taken beyond the month of September of the following FY to which invoice pertains or date of filing of annual return, whichever is earlier.
Annual return to be filed in December then why this section says whichever is earlier. My understanding not clear on the said rule.

Things would be clear when the final GST law will come. Till then adopt the wait and watch policy.

Sh.Gupta Ji,
It is Section 16(4) and not (15) as

filed thereafter.
The purpose is not to allow credit on the above docs after finalisation of return for September or annual return.

Thanks for your valuable reply sir, But I think it can be sufficient that ITC cannot be taken beyond of September of the following FY'. Sept always comes before December( due date of Annual return)

Yes.Gupta Ji. Now as per Rule 12 (2a) CE Rules, 2002 due date for annual return is 30th Nov. of succeeding year. I have seen that some assessees prepare Balance Sheet by 30the Sept. every year and thus they would file annual return much prior to the due date. In that situation the term ,"which ever is earlier&quot
