One of my client has taxable purchase but sale is nil rated. For this reason a huge amount is accumulated in gst credit ledger. It is a fake assets. Can I reverse it in GSTR 3B. What is the rule?
please suggest.

Yes... If Taxpayers dealing Nil Rated or Exempted goods then ITC will reversible.

You can reverse such input tax which is showing in credit ledger also reverse coming returns related ITCs.

As per my view if it's exempted sales n nil rated then rule 42 n 43 coming to picture for reverse of itc better for reverse n report in return s

It is better to reverse the excess ITC Claimed at the time of filing subsequent GSTR-3B only

Madam ITC is excess because of nil rated sale and taxable puchase...it is not claim wrongly. But in this process a huge ITC is showing in credit ledger which is our assets bt in accounts we take all input as our purchase cost because of nil rated sale..so there is a mismatch in accounts and credit ledger. so is it require to reverse itc of credit ledger or not if yes what is the right process ? please tell me
