Ussualy the authorities donot allow the ITC to the purchaser if the VAT has not been deposited by the seller.
Similar is the case in Income Tax Deptt where if the TDS is not deposited by the deductor the deductee dont get the credit/refund for the same. In such case the deductee suffers for no fault of his.

There is no provision in VAT Act that for non-payment of VAT by Y Co, X Co. shall suffer for the same. Disallowance of ITC is not permissible. It is not the onus of the X Co. to prove the payment by the Y Co. X Co. has only to submit the Tax Invoice.
