Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether interest is applicable when tax short-paid in GSTR-3B is later settled via DRC-03 using eligible Input Tax Credit (ITC). While one view suggests no interest applies if ITC is readily available, the other perspective from a proper officer indicates interest is always applicable when using DRC-03, regardless of payment method. The user is seeking legal provisions to support the contention that interest should not be charged when ITC is used for settlement.

In which month and year, you paid short tax in GSTR3B?.

Interest will not be applicable in case of tax paid through ITC always available in credit ledger. 

Thank you for your reply but the proper officer is with a view that the interest applicable when we pay tax via DRC 03 irrespective of whether it is through cash or credit. may I request you to kindly provide any legal provisions supporting your contention.
