Interest on itc reversal


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A business mistakenly claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) for hotel expenses totalling £60,000 but reversed it two months later. During this period, they had unutilised credit balances in both their ITC ledger (£20,000) and cash ledger (£35,000). The user is seeking clarification on whether interest is payable on the full £60,000 or only the portion of the wrongly claimed ITC that was actually utilised. They also enquired about using their existing ledger balances to pay any applicable interest.

We have taken wrong itc of hotel 60000 but after 2 month we have reversed the same.
During this period we have excess itc credit approx 20000 in credit ledger which was not utilised .and cash ledger credit approx 35000 which was not utilised.
So pls advise whether we have to pay interest on 5000 only or 60000 ?

22 October 2020 You have to pay the interest to the extent of utilisation of wrong credit availed.

22 October 2020 Thanks.
Can we adjust cash ledger balance amount at the time calculating interest?

22 October 2020 No, you can not adjust.

22 October 2020 Thanks sir.
Can we pay interest amount from cash ledger balance instead of paying from bank.?

22 October 2020 Yes , of course you can use cash ledger balance for paying interest.
