Vat invoice date confusion

CA Rahi Verma (CA MBA BCOM) (44 Points)

28 January 2014  

Case- Purchase date bill for the items - 18/01/2014

          Sale Date bill for the same items - 28/12/2013

Client received the purchase bill late i.e. as on 18/01/2014 which goes in fourth quarter.

My question is whether we can claim input tax credit in 3rd quarter for the purchase bill as on 18/01/2014 or shall we claim in 4th quarter return.

Thanx in advance
