As per expert and authoritative guidance, the reversed ITC should be transferred to the respective account heads which reflect the nature of the underlying expenditure or reversal, NOT to broad categories like rent, rates, and taxes unless the reversal directly pertains to these expenses. For example, reversal of ineligible ITC on services should be routed to the specific expense accounts such as 'Ineligible ITC - Services,' and reversal due to exempted supplies should go to dedicated ‘ITC Reversed – Exempt Supplies’ accounts. This ensures transparency, audit trail, and accuracy in books.
Transferring the reversed amount to the generic ‘Rent, Rates, and Taxes’ account is not considered authentic unless the ineligible ITC pertains specifically to that category (e.g., GST on rent on an immovable property that is blocked for ITC). Otherwise, using a separate account for ‘ITC Reversal’ is recommended for compliance and correct financial reporting.

Guidance from Authorities
Specific ITC reversals are to be identified and transferred to individual ledger accounts dedicated for ITC reversals in the accounting system.
This practice matches GST audit requirements and facilitates easier reconciliation with GST returns.
Make journal entries as per your enterprise accounting policies, but maintain a separate head for ineligible or reversed ITC to ensure regulatory compliance and clarity during audits.
When To Use Rent, Rates, Taxes
Only transfer to ‘Rent, Rates, and Taxes’ if the ITC reversal is directly attributable to GST on rent, property taxes, or rate payments and such ITC is blocked or ineligible by law (Section 17(5) CGST Act). For most reversals under Rule 42/43, a dedicated ITC reversal account is proper.
