i have claimed excess itc in 2017-18 by purchase bill entered twice wrongly. but not utilized it for any output tax liability. now i reversed it through dec03 in november 2019 is interest applicable on it (excess itc)
I think interest is applicable when SCN is issued, u don't pay in given time. assessment is not done yet and u hv self declared ur default , so less chances for the same.
Yes interest is applicable @ 24% even though the same being not utilised , but as per Section 41 of CGST Act the eligible ITC only can be credited to ECL. & moreover , Section 50(3) of CGST Act stating The interest applicable the person makes undue or Excess claim of ITC. Hence , Interest is applicable
