You can withdraw from composition at any time by filing CMP-04 on the portal. You then become a regular taxpayer and can claim ITC on stock held on the day before withdrawal through ITC-01.

Provisions

Rule 6, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 18(1)(c), CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Example: a trader gets a large factory order needing tax invoices and withdraws from 1 September. File CMP-04 before that date, start tax invoices from 1 September and claim ITC on stock worth Rs 6 lakh with Rs 1.08 lakh GST in ITC-01. Remember that if you withdraw mid-year, you cannot come back until the next financial year.
