01 August 2024 Claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) when your GST number is not mentioned on the invoice can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to rectify the situation. Here’s what you can do:

### Steps to Rectify and Claim ITC:

1. **Request an Amended Invoice:**
- Politely ask the vendor to issue a credit note for the original invoice and a new invoice with the correct details, including your GST number. The vendor can amend their GSTR-1 filing in subsequent returns.

2. **Communicate the Importance of Compliance:**
- Explain to the vendor the importance of mentioning the correct GST number on the invoice for ITC claim purposes. Highlight the potential implications for both parties if the ITC is disallowed.

3. **File a Grievance on the GST Portal:**
- If the vendor refuses to issue an amended invoice, you can file a grievance on the GST portal explaining your situation. Provide all relevant details and correspondence with the vendor.

4. **Maintain Documentation:**
- Keep detailed records of all communication with the vendor regarding this issue. This will be helpful if you need to justify your ITC claim during an audit.

5. **Consult a Tax Professional:**
- It might be beneficial to consult with a tax professional or GST consultant to explore any other options that might be available under the GST law.

### Detailed Steps:

1. **Amended Invoice:**
- **Issue a Credit Note:** The vendor can issue a credit note for the original invoice amount.
- **Issue a New Invoice:** The vendor then issues a new invoice with the correct details, including your GST number.
- **Amend GSTR-1:** The vendor can amend their GSTR-1 return in the next filing period to reflect these changes.

2. **Vendor Communication:**
- **Formal Request:** Send a formal written request (email or letter) to the vendor detailing the issue and requesting an amended invoice.
- **Highlight Compliance:** Explain how mentioning the GST number is necessary for both compliance and claiming ITC.

3. **Grievance Filing:**
- **GST Portal:** Log in to the GST portal.
- **File Grievance:** Navigate to the grievance section and file a complaint with all relevant details.
- **Support Documents:** Attach copies of the original invoice, correspondence with the vendor, and any other supporting documents.

4. **Maintain Documentation:**
- **Communication Records:** Keep a record of all emails, letters, and phone call logs.
- **Invoice Copies:** Store copies of the original invoice and any new documents received.
- **Grievance Records:** Keep a record of the grievance filed and any responses from the GST authorities.

### Example of Formal Request to Vendor:

**Subject: Request for Amended Invoice with Correct GST Details**
