Not required to pay interest yo can claim once you have received goods/ services and you are in possession of tax invoice.

If invoice dated is march 21and supplier paid gst on it in April 21, he need to pay interest for 1 month I. e., from 20th April to date of payment of tax for April 21.
As per the recent press release of the 45th GST council meeting, the interest will be levied on "ITC availed and Utilised". And this will be applicable retrospectively from 01.07.2017. Hence, if the ITC availed in the month of March was utilised before the ITC amount reflected in GSTR2B, interest is applicable else not

As per Rule 36(4), I think there is a provision for 5% of invoices that are not reflected in GSTR 2B earlier GSTR 2A

The amount of input tax credit in respect of the invoices/debit notes whose details have not been uploaded by the suppliers shall not exceed 5% of the eligible input tax credit available to the recipient in respect of invoices or debit notes the details of which have been uploaded by the suppliers under sub-section (1) of section 37 as on the due date of filing of the returns in FORM GSTR-1 of the suppliers for’ the said tax period.

So I think no problem with that.

@ mujeeb Doi press release of the 45th GST council meeting is regarding INELIGIBLE ITC and not about the eligible ITC.

In the present case, it is eligible itc only not ineligible.
 

The interest liability is of the supplier for delayed filing of GSTR-1 not of purchaser,right?
Correct. it is for delayed payment of tax

To make it simple see rule 36(4).

Interest will be levied for the supplier for not filing his return on the due date but if you are not eligible to claim ITC ( Ex: Sec 17(5)) even you claimed in that interest will be levied on you also. Because you are taking benefit of something which you are not allowed to take.

Thank you .
@ vikas Esnapuram It is for ineligible ITC only. But there is difference between ineligible ITC and blocked credit. Eligibility is decided as per the provisions of section 16 which mandates filing of return by supplier

@ Mujeeb Rule 36(4) for the purpose of calculating 5 % overrides Sec 16. So, if we comply with rule 36(4) no problem at all, Ineligible ITC is a vague term that includes Blocked Credit also.

1. Proportion of goods and services used for exempted supply,

2. Proportion of goods and services used for other than business purpose,
