Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle wrongly claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC) in GST returns. If you've claimed ITC incorrectly, you must reverse it via Form DRC-03 before filing GSTR-9 and pay 24% annual interest. While the wrongly claimed ITC amount can be offset using your credit ledger, the interest must be paid from your bank account via cash ledger. GSTR-1 is for outward supplies, and excess ITC claimed in GSTR-3B needs to be paid through the cash ledger and set off using DRC-03.

What?
ITC can not be claimed in GSTR-1

if you have claimed ITC wrongly then reverse it through Form DRC-03 before filing of GSTR-9 with interest of 24% per annum.
For the amount of wrong ITC, you can use your credit ledger, but for 24% interest you must have to pay through your bank account.
1 hope is here you can try many more try including me ..

if you pay excess laibility in 17-18 (not claiming ITC) I m taking about output laibily shown excess then you file your gstr 9 in correct value . after it fiLE RFD-01 (EXCESS PAYMENT OF TAX ) and attach your relevant doc
Gstr 1 form is for to report Outward Supply .

So if you have claimed the excess ITC in GSTr 3B , then need to PAY IN CASH LEDGER & set off by filing DRC -03

Note : Cannot set-off from credit ledger (Refer Notification 74/2018 CT)
