Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle situations where the input tax credit (ITC) declared in GSTR-3B exceeds the amount recorded in your books. It clarifies that any excess ITC must be paid back, along with interest at 24% per annum. The payment should be made voluntarily before filing GSTR-9 using Form DRC-03. While the principal tax difference can be paid using your credit ledger, the interest portion must be paid from your cash ledger or bank account.

Mr. Dinesh

Before filing of GSTR-9 pay excess input through Form DRC-03. you can use your credit ledger for payoff this credit. But you will have to pay interest also at the rate of 24% per annum, and you can not use your credit ledger for interest part. For payment of interest you will have to pay through cash ledger/ bank account.
For paying laibilty for gstr 9 and 9c you cant use credit ledger you have to pay by cash ledger
Ms. Mondira Before filing GSTR 9 liability can be set off against ITC as voluntary payment.
Pay Your ITC reversal through DRC-03 from credit ledger, but Interest shall be payoff through cash ledger / bank account.
Hello Anup, may pay tax through credit ledger. but there may be burden to proof that such utilised ITC was related to this 17-18
