Quick Summary
This discussion explains the correct journal entry for building repair expenses when Input Tax Credit (ITC) is not available, as per Section 17(5) of the CGST Act. It details how to debit repair and maintenance accounts, credit relevant tax accounts (CGST/SGST), and credit trade creditors. The advice also covers reporting ineligible ITC in GSTR-3B and marking it in your books of accounts, even though the tax was charged on the invoice.

As per section 17(5) of the CGST act Input tax credit of repair expenses on construction are Ineligible or Block credit .

pass entry as follows .

Repair and maintenance A/c Dr
CGST A/c Dr
SGST A/c Dr
To Trade Creditors A/c Cr
( Repair and maintenance expenses for Construction of Building )

You have to pass entry as above , however because of credit not available show CGST and SGST in Table 4 ( D ) (1) of GSTR3B Ineligible ITC . ( credit not available)
Also mark in Books of accounts as Ineligible ITC , you have to show CGST and SGST in the entry because , same has been charged in Invoice .
Sir, if itc not available, Can we capitalize the exp incurred on building
Have you repaired old Building ?.
