Respected sir/s,
new accountant of the firm filing Gst returns for November-2025 and while offsetting the payable gst she only utilized the credit balance of IGST & CGST only by leaving SGST Credit, now there is a very huge balance kept in SGST, but now i.e., for the month of May-2026 client has to pay in CGST, thought there is huge credit balance in SGST ledger,

could you please give any suggestion in this regard, to prevent from paying ..

Dear Expert,

I seek clarification regarding the applicability of Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act.

Facts:

I am a proprietor carrying on business under the name Lotus Fibre.
Purchases were made from suppliers registered as Micro/Small Enterprises (MSEs) under the MSMED Act.
Certain invoices were raised during April 2026.
The payments were not made within the MSMED prescribed period of 45 days.
However, the payments were actually made during December 2026, i.e., before 31 March 2027 and within the same financial year.
My Chartered Accountant has disallowed these expenses under Section 43B(h) and added them back to taxable income.

My query is:

Where an MSME invoice is paid after the prescribed MSMED period but before the end of the same financial year, is the expenditure allowable as deduction in that financial year or is it required to be disallowed under Section 43B(h)?

I would appreciate guidance on:

The correct interpretation of Section 43B(h).
Whether payment before 31 March allows deduction.
Relevant CBDT Circulars, judicial precedents, tribunal rulings, or professional guidance supporting the view.
Whether there are divergent views being followed in practice.

Thank you for your guidance.

Regards
Suresh Gupta
Proprietor – Lotus Fibre

Dear Sir

In an E-Way Bill, the Vehicle Number has been updated and is available in Part-B; however, the Transporter ID (TRANSIN) has not been mentioned. In such a case, will the E-Way Bill be considered valid under GST provisions? Please share the relevant GST Rule/Notification supporting the view.

Where the lease agreement is in the name of a partner and the partnership firm conducts business from the premises and pays GST on its sales, whether such an arrangement is legally valid and acceptable under GST and other applicable laws?

I am a GST-registered hotel providing room accommodation services. Both my B2B and B2C supplies are made through an E-Commerce Operator (ECO) such as MakeMyTrip. How can I determine whether these supplies are covered under Section 9(5) of the CGST Act? If the supplies are covered under Section 9(5), how should they be reported in GSTR-1 and who is liable to pay GST? If they are not covered under Section 9(5), in which tables of GSTR-1 should I report the B2B and B2C supplies made through the ECO?

I have received a notice for gstr7 vs gstr3b mismatch
I have shown all the sales transactions as b2c how to reply please help

Sir, we also sell cold drinks in our shop. When we purchase them, a total of 40% tax is charged (28% GST and 12% Compensation Cess). We take input tax credit of both the 28% GST and the 12% Cess. At the time of sale, we report and charge 28% GST and 12% Compensation Cess in our GST returns. Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?

If due to any reason, I could not prepare/issue e way bill against a sale before 20 days. What is the solution. The said sale bill is already shown in my GSTR 3B return. May I issue eway bill now ? What will be the consequences ?
