Quick Summary
An assessee wrongly availed ITC in April 2018 and reversed it in May 2018's GSTR 3B under the incorrect head. The department is not acknowledging this reversal, leading to a demand for payment as claimed ITC exceeds GSTR 2A. However, reversing ITC under the wrong column is considered a procedural error. The assessee should explain the situation to the department via letter and may find relief in appeals if the issue isn't resolved at the assessment stage.

Reversal under wrong column is merely a procedural lapse. You are not liable for any reversal if you have already reversed even if it is under wrong head.

You should write a letter explaining the reversal made.

even if you have revered the ITC in wrong head then again no need to reversed. You explain the issue to the department. 

You may find relief in Appeals if not at assessment stage.
