Quick Summary
A client invoiced in March 2022 had GST not paid on that transaction. They wish to use GST credit from October 2022 to offset this March liability. However, GST credit can only be offset against liabilities in the same tax period. The March 2022 invoice needs to be reported now, with applicable interest for the delay, and the liability can be paid using available ITC at the time of filing, but interest must be paid in cash.

Based on your information, I assume you have raised invoice in Mar 22 to your client/customer and he deducts TDS thereon and it is properly getting reflected in your Form 26AS of FY 2021-22. However, you haven't paid GST on the said invoice and now you intend to set off GST credit of Oct 22 against Mar 22 invoice. Please note that you are allowed to offset GST credit available as on the last date of GST liability month and hence, you cannot offser Oct 22 GST credit against Mar 22.

Hi Ravindra,
You have to report March 22 invoice now and pay interest applicable for the delay.. Also you can pay this liability using ITC balance available at the time of filing return. But interest needs to be paid in cash.
