ITC on closing stock can be claimed only if your are already registered either under VAT/Central Excise/ Service Tax. Only unclaimed portion of ITC can be claimed upto the value of ITC mentioned in your Purchase Invoice subject to condition that the invoice should not be more than 12 Months old before the date of appointment of GST. If you do not have duty value in invoice then you can claim 40% as ITC on your Closing Stock.

sir, we are exempted to pay vat/CST in existing law. so can we claim all our ITC on closing stock as we have all duty paid documents.
sir, in GST act we shall purchase on different rate of Tax i.e it's may be 5, 18. but our footwear value will be less than 500. can we avail all different rate ITC.

Please follow transitional rules for availing ITC in GST regime. In case you have details of taxes paid, credit not obtained prior to GST which otherwise could have been obtained if assessee was a registered assessee, credit can be taken against GST payable. In case you don't have details in that case also 40% credit is possible against GST payable. You are advised to refer GST transitional provisions.
