Interest on reversal of ITC

Hi

By mistake we availed ITC under CGST and SGST instead of availing under IGST. Do we need to pay interest on rectification of the same in the subsequent month?

Thanks

Quick Summary
A user mistakenly availed ITC under CGST and SGST instead of IGST and asked if interest is applicable upon rectification. The consensus is that no interest is applicable for this specific error. Section 77 of the CGST Act, which deals with tax wrongfully collected and paid, is referenced, clarifying that it pertains to output tax rather than input tax credit.

No need... Interest not applicable for this mistake (and rectification).
No................... (Refer Section 77 of CGST Act)
Interest to be paid @ 24% p. a. Sec 77 of CGST Act specifically talks about 'tax wrongfully collected paid to Government'. The emphasis is on the output tax and not on ITC.
