I think Raja P M is right, I should record my purchase in 03 Jan because I can not increase my stock on 30 dec when I get it on 03 jan. My Material receipt date is 3rd jan. So I will claim it in Jan 18.

Dear Suraj Gupta.,

It's not only my view. Also the Law based reply and the same rules applicable on GST Regime and Before GST regime.
So,
No way for tale ITC on December. Just we will take ITC and Book in our accounts on January...

GOOD LUCK...

you have to book it in your books as on 30/12/2017 bcz as per sec 12 the last date of supplier is date of issue of invoice or last date i.e. date of removal of goods
so as per above provison your supplier had booked it as on 30/12/2017 so u have to do so on same date for avoiding mismatch on gst portal

U can book ur purchase only on receipt of goods... Supplier book in their accounts at the time of removal of goods... Buyer entered in their books and suppliers eneterd in own books... No relevance of both... U can't take itc in December month

Mr Divakar Ji

I am fully agree with you , It is required to be consider transit time of goods with out receipt of material how the invoice can be booked , it is not only the matter of ITC it the matter of material accounting . And as section 35 of GST it is required to be maintain stock in your books if we will book the invoice before receipt of goods it will violation of Section 35 of GST .

that's the reason we can not booked invoice on or before receipt of Goods.
