ITC REVERSAL QUERY ??

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a query regarding the reversal of ineligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) for FY 2017-18. The user initially claimed ITC they were unaware was ineligible and later reversed it in March 2019 GSTR-3B, but did not report this reversal in the FY 2017-18 GSTR-9. The core question is whether a DRC-03 payment is necessary for FY 2017-18 and how to handle the prior GSTR-3B reversal. Experts clarify that while GSTR-9 and Table 8D are disclosure mechanisms, a DRC-03 payment might be required for the missed liability, with the March 2019 reversal potentially being an accidental reversal of FY 2018-19 ITC. The consensus leans towards reconciling this in the FY 2018-19 GSTR-9 and potentially paying interest, advising that DRC-03 is a valid method for voluntary payments of past liabilities.

Dear Sir,

I have availed ITC at time of filing 3b which was ineligible as i found later after setting off liability for cgst and sgst. Now i want to reverse the itc after 60 days? How much interest is to be paid and where interest is to be paid in 3b or drc-03 ?

Dear Arsh

As ITC is utilised interest would be leviable. Question is at 24% u/s 50(3) or 18%?

In my view for 50(3) to apply GSTR 2 & 3 must be functional (link to section 42 & 43), therefore, 18% can be paid. Also it is useful to note there is no interest on interest

Thanku so much sir for this important information. 

But One part is still unanswered by you that where interest is to be paid in 3b or drc-03 ?

If liability related to beyond time period (after Sept) then DRC-03

If within time period can be paid through GSTR 3B. 

Where CGST & SGST interest values do not match, in 3B it cannot be disclosed as it auto-populates other value. Can use DRC-03 that time. 

Sir,

Itc was availed in Jul Aug and Sep return has not been filed yet. So u mean it can be paid in 3b. O do i have an option to pay wherever i want i. e.,  3b or drc-03

the time limit is linked to sept return due date and not the return itself. So even if its not yet been filed, the option to include in 3B is lost for upto FY 19-20. DRC-03 is the only option. 

You may chose to discharge through DRC-03 itself in all cases also. (but not vice versa)

 

Ok sir. Thanku so much for such valuable response. 

I availed itc in July 2020 and finally now m paying interest 18% in drc-03 and reversing in Sep 3b. 

As per ur advice

Dear Sir  

could you please tell me under which section interest has to be paid in drc-03 ?

When reversing ineligible itc
