Ineligible ITC u/s 16(4) has appeared in our GSTR 3B summary of the year. Should we show this anywhere in GSTR 9?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the treatment of ineligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) under Section 16(4) of the CGST Act. It explains that ITC appearing as ineligible in GSTR 3B due to time limits, as per Section 16(4), is distinct from blocked credit under Section 17(5). The advice given is to investigate the specific invoices to understand why the ITC became ineligible and to check if this needs to be reported in GSTR 9.

Section 16(4) of the CGST act 2017 is conditions to take input  tax credit , and section 17(5) is for  ineligible  ITC  , so please clerify is the ITC as per section 17(5)  the CGST act ?. 

No, it I as showing ineligible Itc u/s 16(4) not blocked credit u/s 17(5)

Ok , So as per the section 16(4) of the CGST Act 2017 , there is  time limit to take ITC , and you must  have taken that  ITC after that time limit (  for exemple time limit to take ITC for F.Y 23-24 is 30/11/2024 )  therefore same may be Ineligibale , so check the books of  accounts ( Invoice wise details ) , why it is  Ineligiable ?, and revart back .
