Issue Summary In Feb 2025, GST of ₹5,000 paid on purchase of plant and machinery was capitalised (clubbed with cost), and the ITC was not availed.
It was disclosed in GSTR-3B, Table 4(B)(1) as "ITC available but not availed".
Now, the taxpayer wishes to reverse the capitalisation and claim the ITC of ₹5,000 in April 2025.
Key Compliance Points Eligibility Period:
As per Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, ITC can be claimed on or before 30th Nov of the following financial year, or before filing the annual return (whichever is earlier).
Since the invoice pertains to Feb 2025, claiming ITC in April 2025 is within the eligible time frame.
Reversal of Capitalisation:
You must rectify the accounting treatment in your books:
Debit Input GST Account with ₹5,000.
Reduce the cost of plant and machinery by ₹5,000.
This ensures that the asset value is adjusted, and GST is shown as ITC in books.
GSTR-3B Reporting for April 2025 Report the ITC of ₹5,000 in:
Table 4(A)(5) – "All other ITC".
There is no need to adjust or reduce any amount manually in Table 4(B) or Table 4(C).
Do not try to adjust Column 49(A)(5) manually in the return – that field reflects system-calculated figures based on your 4A/4B inputs.
