FAQ :
The main issue was a demand for Suncraft Energy to reverse input tax credit (ITC) claimed on supplier invoices that were missing from their GSTR-2A, due to a supplier's error.
No, Suncraft Energy won the case, and the demand notice was set aside. They do not have to reverse the ITC.
Suncraft Energy provided valid tax invoices, proof of payment to the supplier, and cited clarifications from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
The key principle is that discrepancies in GSTR-2A do not automatically justify ITC reversal for the buyer, and authorities must investigate the seller first.
This ruling protects buyers from unfair tax burdens caused by their suppliers' mistakes, ensuring that bona fide transactions and documented payments are recognised.
