Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a scenario where input tax credit was wrongly availed and subsequently reversed. The core issue is whether interest is applicable on the 1.2 crore INR credit from August 2017 to March 2019. Experts confirm that interest is indeed applicable from the date the credit was wrongly taken until its final reversal, as per Section 50(1) of the CGST Act, at a rate up to 18% per annum. While a genuine clerical mistake and lack of malafide intention might be grounds to appeal to the department, the substantial amount necessitates consultation with an experienced GST expert.

Yes Interest is applicable from the date of wrong credit availed till finally Reversed.
As per Sec 50(1) of CGST Act 2017 , Every person who is liable to pay tax in accordance with the provisions of this Act or the rules made there under, but fails to pay the tax or any part thereof to the Government within the period prescribed time , shall for the period for which the tax or any part thereof remains unpaid, pay, on his own, interest at such rate, not exceeding eighteen per cent, as may be notified by the Government on the recommendations of the Council.”

Therefore you have to pay interest @ 18%p.a.
Any benefit of (not a malafide) intention, will avail bcoz it was a clarical mistake , and GST was a new act at the time and everyone was not aware the treatment of mistake, dealer has not file any return before deposit tax ,but not set off through cash ledger, bcoz a big demand of interest 20 lac may be arise
If you paid tax genuinely and it was not a malafide intention (genuine clerical mistake) then I think you can request and prove the department or always challenge the department if the department has issued notice. As the amount is substantial you should appoint and consult personally some experienced GST expert in the industry.
