This discussion addresses the interest payable under Section 73(5) of the CGST Act 2017 due to incorrect Input Tax Credit (ITC) availment for FY 19-20. The user filed GSTR 3B for March 2021 on April 8, 2021, missing the deadline for ITC availment. It's noted that recent GST Council recommendations suggest extending the ITC deadline to 30.11.2021 for certain financial years, and an amnesty scheme for interest and penalties is also anticipated.

As per latest GST Council meeting it is recommended that time limit for input tax credit under section 16(4) for FY 17-18, 18-19 and 19-20 to be reckoned till 30.11.2021 so wait for the notification. In any case regarding interest and penalty there is an amnesty scheme also coming as per the Council meeting.
