Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the interest and penalties applicable for the non-reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the financial year 2019-20 under the CGST Act. Interest is generally applicable at 24% if ITC has been utilised, as per Section 50(3) read with Rule 88B. However, if ITC has not been utilised, it can be reversed without interest. Penalties are typically imposed under Section 74, but may not be leviable if the amount is deposited within 30 days of receiving a Show Cause Notice (SCN).

@ CA ALTAMUSH ZAFAR

IF UTILISED THEN REVERSAL WITH INTEREST IS @ 24%

FINANCE ACT 2022-23 CLAUSE 111 GOT EFFECTIVE, AMENDING SECTION 50 OF CGST ACT & THE RATE OF INTEREST FOR ITC AVAILED & UTILISED IS 24% THEREIN      (NOTI 9/22 CT)

AND CLAUSE 115,118,121 WHICH IS AMENDING NOTIFICATION 13/2017 CT WHICH IS AMENDING INTEREST RATE TO 18% IS YET TO BE NOTIFY , SINCE THESE CLAUSE OF FINANCE ACT 2022-23 NOT BEING NOTIFIED TILL DATE ,THE INTEREST RATE APPLICABLE 24%

 

(REFER SECTION 50(3) AS NOTIFIED)

SORRY

YES ITS 18% .

AS PER FINANCE ACT 2022-23 CLAUSE UPTO 113 NEED TO BE NOTIFY BY NOTIFICATION & REST WILL EFFECTIVE FROM 01/04/2022

SO CLAUSE 115 OF FINANCE ACT ALREADY BEING EFFECTIVE FROM 01/04/2022

Correct, that clause doesn't need a notification notifying it. The powers to amend directly were taken in the Finance Act itself. Quite a novel way to do it as far as GST is concerned.

That is why most people quote the incorrect rate due to the manner of amendment.
