Dear ,

input tax credit on capital goods can be claimed in three successive annual equal installments and shall be claimed in the first return of tax period of the assessment year.First such installment can be claimed in the return of first tax period of the assessment year succeeding the assessment year in which capital goods liable to input tax credit have been purchased and subsequent installements shall be claimed in the return of first tax period of subsequent assessment year.

For Example: I have purchased a machine for manufacturing goods in the factory for RS. 200000/- vat rate 5% tax is 10000/- on 25-12-2009.

in this case first installment of ITC capital goods can be claimed in A/Y 2010-2011 RS 3333/- IN the return of April 2010 REturn if my tax period is Monthly. Rest two installments can be claimed in April 2011 and April2012.
