Wrong GST Input Credit

Hello Experts,

We have take excess input in Mar'21 GSTR 3B return.

How this needs to be rectified? In Annual Return of FY20-21 OR in the next GSTR 3B?

What are the rules related to this?

Thank you

Quick Summary
If you've claimed excess GST input credit in your March 2021 GSTR 3B return, you need to rectify this. The consensus is that this excess input should be reversed in your next month's GSTR 3B or by filing a DRC-03 form. It cannot be reversed in the annual return. While reversing in a subsequent GSTR 3B is an option, using DRC-03 is often recommended, especially for previous financial year entries, to avoid complex reconciliations. Interest may also apply to the reversed amount.

Excess input should be shown as input reversal column in next month's 3B. ITC can neither be claimed nor can be reversed in annual return. In case you miss out on reversal in 3b you can do so through DRC-03 as well.

Best method for you right now will be to reverse such itc through DRC-03.
Interest on reverseal is applicable
Either you can report the excess ITC in annual return or reverse the excess ITC through DRC 03
There are 2 way out to reverse the excess ITC claimed:
1. Reverse it in your Subsequent GStR 3B (which can be declared in annual return)
2. Or File DRC 03 & Setoff from credit or cash ledger.

Note : In my view as ITC excess claimed is pertaining to march (previous Fy ) So should reverse by Filing DRC 03 , because if you reverse it by reporting in subsequent return you need to prepare Reconciliation Statement for Both the Year.
You can do in both ways i.e.

1. Either Reverse it in next month GSTR-3B
2. Or Reverse it by submitting DRC-03.
To communicate with assessing officer,he will issue an intimation ,u may use DRC 3,and blocked in next 3B.

No Reverse methods in GST.
But u may make an arrangements in 3 B March 2021(for the period from April to Sept and October to March till September 2022 on the invoice validity periods.
