In GSTR9 Table 8 where the ITC excess reversed is to be shown

During the FY ITC Reversed 30% instead of 5% in GSTR3B

Next FY ITC Excess Reversed 25% is taken in 4A(5) of GSTR 3B befor the specified period.

In GSTR9 Table 8 or 12 where this ITC excess reversed is to be shown

Table 8(A) - GSTR2A Auto data

Table 8(B) - GSTR3B Auto data

Table 8(C ) - ITC received during the FY but availed upto Specific period.

Table 12 - Reversal of ITC availed during the previous Financial year

Table 13 - ITC availed for the pervious Financial year 

The ITC Excess Reversal Booked, Availed and Claimed in Next Financial year in Books of Accounts and GSTR3B.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) that was reversed in GSTR-3B but later reclaimed. While GSTR-9 Table 8 focuses on differences between GSTR-2A/2B and GSTR-3B, excess reversals reclaimed in the next financial year should typically be reflected in Table 13 of GSTR-9. If you can still claim the excess reversed ITC before the November 30 deadline, it may be reported in Row 8D of Table 8. It's crucial to reconcile monthly GSTR-3B reversals against actual ineligible ITC and reclaim any over-reversals in the next available monthly GSTR-3B before the time limit expires.

The excess reversed ITC reclaimed (25%) should be reported in Table 13 of GSTR-9 for the FY in which it was reclaimed. This ensures compliance and accurate reconciliation with books of accounts.

Table 8 of GSTR-9 deals with differences between ITC as per GSTR-3B and ITC as per GSTR-2A/2B for the year.

For ITC that was reversed in excess (more than what should have been reversed), the reporting depends on whether you intend to reclaim it:
- Row 8D: ITC available in GSTR-2B but not availed in GSTR-3B. If you can still claim this within the November 30 deadline, report here and reclaim in the next GSTR-3B.
- Row 8E: ITC available but ineligible. Do not mix excess reversals here.
- If you reversed ITC in excess during the year (e.g., reversed for non-payment within 180 days but paid later and forgot to reclaim), this needs to be reflected in the monthly GSTR-3B reconciliation before the annual return deadline.

The annual return does not have a specific excess reversal reclaim row. The reclaim must happen in a monthly GSTR-3B before the November 30 cutoff under Section 16(4). After that, the credit is lost.

Safest approach: cross-match your GSTR-3B Table 4(B) reversals month-wise against actual ineligible ITC and compute the net over-reversal. Reclaim the difference in the next open GSTR-3B.
