2. In Question 1 What will be the situation if we are recovering such demurrage charges(including GST) from parties?

Section 16. (1) of CGST Act 2017 :  Every registered person shall, subject to such conditions and restric- tions as may be prescribed and in the manner specified in section 49, be entitled to take credit of input tax charged on any supply of goods or services or both to him which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business and the said amount shall be credited to the electronic credit ledger of such person.
