NON MIGRATION OF GST - NON REVOCATION OF GSTIN

ANIL SULEGAI PREMANATH (ACCOUNTANT)     29 October 2020

Dear Experts, 

Please help me resolve the problem of one of my client as below.

My client has raised 2 bills to xyz co., dated 14.02.2018 & 25.05.2018 respectively.

Unknowingly, client has not migrated from VAT to GST within the stipulated time and we have raised 2 invoices to the company with the old GST number and it is irrevocable.

Now, we are not able to file the GSTR1 and GSTR3B in the old number (not migrated) (in which invoice is issued), and hence, the company (client's customer) is not getting the Input Tax Credit appearing in their records. 

The client has applied for new registration, the date of approval of new registration is 05.08.2019 and the website does not allow us to enter the old dated invoices and it is showing us the following error “Date is Invalid. Date of invoice cannot be before the date of registration”.

Now, the client is ready to pay the taxes along with interest and penalty but the system is not allowing him to do so.. 

Could anyone please let us know how to go about it.
