Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the treatment of bad debts under GST. If a supplier (Mr. A) has paid GST on goods sold but the buyer (Mr. B) fails to pay within 180 days, the supplier cannot directly recover the output tax paid. Instead, the buyer must reverse their Input Tax Credit (ITC) along with interest. The supplier's recourse is to pursue payment from the buyer.

No bad debts is out of purview of GST.
Since the Recipient failed to pay the consideration along with GST even beyond 180 days from the date of Invoice, Mr. B is required to reverse the ITC availed along with Interest @ 18%. Mr. A have to force Mr. B for the payment.

As said by Mr. Pankaj Sir, Bad Debts are out of the purview of GST. Bad debts per se are not allowed for the reduction in GST liability.
