Where to report it:
• ITC used exclusively for exempt supplies isn't eligible (Sec 17(2)). Report it in GSTR-3B Table 4(D)(1) (ineligible ITC under Sec 16(4) & ITC restricted due to PoS rules, from 2022) or, more commonly, 4(B)(1) (reversal as per Rules 38, 42, 43 and Sec 17(5)) if you initially claimed it in 4A.
• Common ITC used for both: Rule 42/43 monthly reversal in 4(B)(1), and the annual true-up in September of the next year.
• GSTR-9: Table 7 (ITC reversed and ineligible): Rule 42 reversal goes in 7C, Rule 43 in 7D, Sec 17(5) in 7E, others in 7H. ITC never claimed (ineligible, not taken) isn't reported as reversal.
• If ITC was never availed on exempt-only purchases, nothing is reversed. Keep it out of 4A.
