Dear sir

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common GST issue where IGST input tax credit (ITC) was claimed instead of CGST ITC for the financial year 2018-19, leading to discrepancies on the GST portal. The conversation explores the complexities of correcting this error, especially when past the original claim deadlines. It clarifies that while wrongly paid IGST might be refundable under specific circumstances, correcting the ITC claim for CGST/SGST that was not availed within the stipulated time (Section 16 of CGST Act) is generally not possible, and the credit may lapse.

When you file gstr-9 you have to pay igst and you can claim refund of cgst.
Yes need to pay IGST , but now you won't be able to claim CGST.

Even though you avail CGST input by reporting it in annual return but it's not going reflect in your ECL. & due time barred as per section 16 of CGST Act .

Cannot report it in your current GSTR 3b

Sir as u said it's time barred as per section 16 of chat act, but if I refer to section 19 of igst act, it says tax wrongly paid can claimed as refund. sir please refer to section and guide me.

U have claim igst which is in actual cgst and sgst , therefore u have to reverse igst which is wrongly availed and... u have not claimed cgst and sgst for 2018-19 for which last date 30th sep 2019 or annual return whichever earlier as per sec 16.. therefore u cant to take such itc now but u have to reverse excess itc claimed

 

Dear Vikram

As per section 77 of cgst & section 19 of IGST,  The registered person who has paid IGST  on transaction considered by him as inter-state supply, but which subsequently held to Intra-state supply (vice versa) , So wrongly deposited tax can claim as refund, means the wrongly deposited  tax is lying in your cash ledger (not being setoff) .

So the above section is specifically speaks of transaction related to Outward supply. hence not  applicable in your case & as per section 49 of cgst act the credit ledger balance can be set-off against output tax liability , so you cannot reverse the wrongly claim IGST  , need pay in cash ledger & for cgst/sgst credit  which was not avail till Sept -19  will be lapsed

 

Thank u so much for your analysis
