If you've received a notice for an Input Tax Credit (ITC) mismatch between your GSTR-2A and GSTR-3B over three years, even with all invoices and payment statements, the department may insist on reversal with interest. While the Madras High Court has ruled favourably in similar cases, current rules (like Rule 36) often mean the Assessing Officer won't allow ITC until it appears in GSTR-2A. Your primary recourse is to contest the issue through the appellate authority, as courts are more likely to consider principles of natural justice.

Even though in M/s. Sri Ranganathar Valves Private Limited case madras highcourt given favour judgement in a situation simular to you i dont think it is of any help to us ,
Assessing officer won’t allow the input tax credit to the taxpayer till the time ITC is available in GSTR 2A as is mentioned in rule 36.
Because of above rule practically you won’t be allowed ITC of GST paid even though you have proper invoice
Hope we will get a supreme court order soon favouring principle of natural justice
Appeal is just to postpone and delay proceeding i feel, Only courts see principle of natural justice.
