What to do if i had claimed ITC of import goods in the head of all other ITC??, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[MAYANK MITTAL]

I had claimed IGST of ₹ 84.00 Lakhs paid on import of goods wrongly as all other ITC in GSTR-3B for the month of November 2017. Now what to do to get it rectified as I have got a demand from CGST department for mismatch in GSTR-2A & 3B for the f.y. 2017-18. Please advise.

By making entry in wrong column you have not caused revenue loss to the department. Since the demand SCN has been issued, you have to file reply to the SCN with supporting documents i.e. books of accounts. Books of accounts are statutory docs. If your books of accounts are correct and there is no difference in the books of accounts, then there is nothing to worry. You are to justify correctness and genuineness in the books of account regarding availment of ITC.

After the issuance of demand show cause notice, rectification will be possible only after the demand SCN is adjudicated. So wait for the Adjudication Order.

There was a recent case in High Court which held that mere difference between 2 A and 3 B cannot lead to a demand. so as Kasthuri sir has stated please provide justification for the difference and no demand notice should be raised if it is a genuine case
