Input tax means the central tax (CGST), State tax (SGST), integrated tax (IGST) or Union territory tax (UTGST) charged on supply of goods or services or both made to a registered person. It also includes tax paid on reverse charge basis and integrated tax charged on import of goods. It does not include tax paid under composition levy.

Following four conditions are to be satisfied by the registered taxable person for obtaining ITC:

(a) he is in possession of tax invoice or debit note or such other tax paying documents (such as bill of entry or any other document prescribed under the Customs Act, ISD invoice as prescribed in Rule 36(1) of the TSGST Rules).

(b) he has received the goods or services or both;

(c) the supplier has actually paid the tax charged in respect of the supply to the government; and

(d) he has furnished the return under section 39.

Yes, the recipient can take ITC. But he is required to pay the consideration along with tax within 180 days from the date of issue of invoice. This condition is not applicable where tax is payable on reverse charge basis.

A registered person cannot take ITC in respect of any invoice after the due date for furnishing the return under section 39 for the month of September following the end of financial year to which such invoice or furnishing of the relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. So, the upper time limit for taking ITC is 20th October of the next FY or the date of filing of annual return whichever is earlier. The underlying reasoning for this restriction is that no change in return is permitted after September of next FY. If annual return is filed before the month of September, then no change can be made after filing of annual return. However, in cases of new registration or where a person shifts from composition scheme to regular tax payment or where an exempt supply become taxable, the time limit for taking ITC is one year from the date of invoice of inward supplies. [Section 18(2) of TSGST Act]. 

No, a person cannot take ITC with respect to goods lost, stolen, destroyed or written off. In addition, ITC with respect of goods given as gifts or free samples are also not allowed. [Section 17(5)(h) of TSGST Act].
