GST in excess of 5%


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A business is concerned about exceeding the 5% GST input tax credit (ITC) limit because invoices received in November were recorded in December. This timing difference caused a warning message when claiming ITC in December, even though the total ITC claimed was within limits. The advice given is to ignore the warning, as the business is only claiming unavailed ITC from the previous month. It's recommended to perform monthly reconciliations of ITC as per company books and as per GST returns (2A/2B).

16 January 2021 Practical problem is Nov invoices reflected in Nov 2A but our co recorded it on 1st and 2nd Dec while actual material received.
So while claiming input in Dec 2020 the limit of 5% gets exceeded...what to do?
In short problem is input appeared in Nov but we are claiming it in Dec is there any issue?

16 January 2021 No issue you can claim it in December.

16 January 2021 But return tabs are getting red with a message that you are exceeding limit of rule 36(4)..

16 January 2021 Actually you are not exceeding. You are availing only the last month unavailed. Ignore the warning.

17 January 2021 You have to do month on month reconciliation (cumulative) of ITC as per books and as per 2A/2B.
