Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle Input Tax Credit (ITC) when goods are received in a different month than the invoice is issued. If you receive goods in September but the invoice was dated August, you should not claim ITC in August. Instead, you claim it in September. Any ITC appearing in your August GSTR-2B but not claimed in your August GSTR-3B can be reclaimed in your September GSTR-3B. This process, involving reversal in Table 4(B)(2) and reclaiming in Table 4(D)(1), is permissible and supported by GST Circular 170/02/2022, ensuring your returns tally correctly.

Why, in the first place, would you reverse GST?

In August month, you will not claim ITC for the goods that you haven't received. You will claim ITC only when you have received the goods and you have the Invoice, which in your case, is in the month of September. So you will Claim ITC in the September period.

In that case figures of 2B and 3B of both months will not tally

Yes, Correct. There will be unclaimed ITC reflecting under 2B in the month of August which can be claimed under 3B in the month of September. And then it will automatically get tallied.

correct option

Hope no notice will come if September 3B is Rs 100000 and 2B is 10000
Itc reversal is possible.

Even if you get notice under DRC-01B, you can reply and explain in that notice that you have claimed, Unclaimed ITC of previous month and there would be no problem, because it is genuine ITC.

Please go through circular 170/02/2022-GST, Dt.06th July 2022, where it has been clarified that any reclaimable ITC related to the ITC available in Form GSTR 2B has to reverse in Table 4(B)(2). And while availing ITC has to sum-up with Table 4(A)(5) and also has to report in Table 4(D)(1).

Yes I agreed with Mr Rajendra Prasad...
So reversal in 4 B2 and reclaim in 4 D1 is better

Yes do the same..with the new DRC-01C coming into effect the option to claim - reverse - reclaim is the better option
