Facts of the Case

The applicant was running a furnace and procuring ferrous alloys, scrap, gas and other materials. It filed an application for advance ruling to determine whether it would be entitled to claim ITC on purchases made from seller who had discharged tax liability on same but preceding seller had failed to discharge such tax liability.

The Authority for Advance Ruling observed that as per Section 16(2)(c) of CGST Act, 2017, the tax charged in respect of impugned supply is required to be actually paid to Government either in cash or through utilisation of admissible ITC in order to avail ITC. The ITC can’t be availed/claimed if seller or preceding seller fails to discharge GST on such supply.
