The provision does not apply on excess itc claimed.
interest will be @ 24% on the whole excess amount claimed
No interest will be chargeable as per Section 100 of Finance Act 2019 read with notification and clarifications issued by CBIC, in this respect time to time.

Interest is payable @ 24% in case of excess ITC claimed. 

Kindly note that 24% interest is as per section 50(3) of the CGST act, 2017, and this section will be applicable on the basis of matching concept available in GSTR 2 and GSTR 3. so as GSTR 2 and GSTR 3 is not operational till date, then 24% is not applicable here.
