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.
