Now the itc for Nov 19 will be Rs 50000+20% of 80000 = 66000 instead of Rs 80000. Balance itc will be claimed in the period in which renaming invoices for covering 83.33% of Eligible Itc has been uploaded.

In order to calculate the amount of Input Tax Credit as per new rule , only TAX INVOICES and DEBIT NOTES shall be considered . Tax paid of Reverse charge basis , IGST on imports etc shall not be taken into consideration. Full ITC will be allowed in respect of these invoices .
