What to do with unutilised ITC?

A taxpayer has unutilised ITC in his credit ledger. This is because he bought explosives with B2B invoices, but used the explosives for personal use. What shall he do with the unutilised ITC?

Quick Summary
If you have unutilised Input Tax Credit (ITC) because goods like explosives were used for personal purposes, you cannot claim ITC on them as per Section 17. This is considered blocked credit. The correct procedure is to reverse the ITC that was initially taken on these items.

If a good is used for personal purpose no ITC shall be  taken on the same as per Section 17. It's a  blocked credit

Ok. Then, who will block the credit so that the ITC is not utilised?

Hi, You shouldn't have taken the credit on goods used for personal purpose. You need to reverse the ITC taken.
