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.
Thanks 2 Pankaj Rawat Ji and Sukhwani Keyur ji for your valuable opinion
