Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether landlords are liable to pay GST on rent arrears and penalties awarded by a court, particularly when the tenant deposits the amount with the court. It also touches upon how to correctly record Input Tax Credit (ITC) entries for such payments. One opinion suggests seeking an Advance Ruling under the CGST Act 2017, as Schedule II, clause 5(e) of the Act may classify this as a supply attracting GST, subject to the Rs 20 Lakh threshold.

I my opinion , you should apply for Advance ruling under section 97 (e) of the CGST act 2017.

per Sch II clause 5(e) of CGST Act  it is supply and attracts gst liability

but subject to threshold of Rs 20 Lakh
