Provisions of unclaimed Input tax credit


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you've received a notice from the tax department because your GSTR-3B doesn't match your GSTR-2A due to unclaimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) from 2017-18, don't panic. While unclaimed ITC lapses if not claimed, it typically doesn't incur penalties unless deemed fraudulent. You should file your annual return (GSTR-9) to correct the discrepancy and address the notice, potentially avoiding fraud accusations and penalties.

09 February 2020 I made a purchase in 2017-18 but by mistake i never claimed ITC for the same. Now i received a notice from department that My GSTR-3B is shorter than GSTR-2A. What should i do? What is provision for this situation? Can department tax penalty for unclaimed ITC. Please tell me.

10 February 2020 No penalty can be levied on unclaimed ITC. ITC only lapse when it's not claimed.
