Accounting Treatment in case of goods received in lots / batches
As per Section 16(2),
“No registered person shall be entitled to the credit of
any input tax in respect of any supply of goods or services or both to him
unless,––
a. he is
in possession of a tax invoice or debit note issued by a supplier registered
under this Act, or such other tax paying documents as may be prescribed;
b. he has
received the goods or services or both.”
The credit of tax is to be booked only when the above two conditions are satisfied i.e.

In certain cases, goods are not completely received; for
example, in case the goods are received in more than one consignment under a
single invoice; in such case, the credit booked shall be restricted upto the
amount of goods received.
However, as per Proviso to Section 16(4), where the
goods against an invoice are received in lots or installments, the registered person
shall be entitled to take credit upon receipt of the last lot or installment.
