Raise Liability and Claim ITC for RCM Purchases in TallyPrime

For TallyPrime 3.0 & later

|For TallyPrime 2.1 & earlier|

Under GST, purchases under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) make the recipient liable to pay tax instead of the supplier. Now, Input Tax Credit (ITC) can only be claimed after the tax is paid and a valid invoice is available. You can raise liability and claim ITC in the same period.

ITC may sometimes be claimed in the next period due to timing or operational factors, such as:

  • Month-end payments: RCM tax paid late in the month often shifts ITC to the next return cycle.
  • Internal processes: Early book closure or verification steps can delay claiming.
  • Practical timing issues: Late payments naturally push ITC to the following period.
