ITC Eligibility
Understand ITC eligibility in practical reconciliation terms and apply it consistently during mismatch triage.
29 May 2026
Definition
ITC eligibility determines whether paid input tax can be claimed under GST rules for a transaction.
Why it matters
Eligibility should be captured while reviewing mismatches so tax impact decisions happen early, not during filing crunch.
Example
An invoice may be matched to GSTR-2B but still remain under review if the supporting conditions for claim are not yet satisfied.
Common mistake
Teams sometimes treat a match as proof of claimability. The two checks are related, but they are not the same.
