17 August 2020 Respected Sir,

We have two GST Numbers one for Andhra Pradesh and the other for Maharashtra State. As there has been no sale purchase in Maharashtra for quite some time, can we claim ITC Set-off against GST paid on purchases of any product or services rendered here in Bombay.

Basically ours is an export organization based in Andhra Pradesh. Very oftenly happens that the shipping companies draw their bills inadvertently on Maharashtra GST Number which the shipping companies do not change inspite of our request. Can we not claim ITC Set-off even on such bills.

Please guide me & oblige.

With kindest regards

18 August 2020 No, you cannot claim ITC in Maharashtra because the services are received in AP.Just because the shipping company is putting wrong address in their bills , ITC cannot be taken in MH. You need to take credit in Andhra only and insist upon the shipping companies to raise bills on Andhra through a written agreement.

18 August 2020 Further hence onwards all the forthcoming GST Returns shall be filed as of NIL and the full bill value on account of any purchase/expense/service shall be debited to Trading And Profit & Loss Account. Am I correct Sir ?

18 August 2020 What is the amount of ITC lying in MH? If you are not making any outward supply from Maharashtra then you may like to surrender the registration.
