A construction business owner incorrectly filed their GST returns by marking Input Tax Credit (ITC) as ineligible. This led to the ITC not being nullified and being adjusted against output tax liability. The owner seeks guidance on reversing this utilised ITC and adjusting it through the cash ledger in the next quarter without incurring penalties or interest.
