      irrespective of turnover limit available/known to you or not, you need to see that tax invoice issued for GST has HSN/SAC of 4 digits.

  1. Dear Sir,

    can you please confirm the relevant date for claiming ITC for FY 2018-19. I have read in some articles that definition of relevant date has changed for ITC. Eg- For April 2018 the refund shall be claimed till April 2020. Please suggest what is the last date to apply for refund for FY 2018-19 entire year.

    1. Sorry for late reply
      relevant date incase of refund under GST is different for Direct Export (i.e. without LUT), Refund of ITC incase of Zero rated Supply (I.e. under LUT), Supply to SEZ and Deemed Export. so kindly see the relevant provision before making application refund application.
