I have wrongly claimed ITC of IGST on inputs of rs 5,00,000 in the month of april and i reversed it immediately in the month of june. However till june amount of ITC is remained as unutilised credit in credit ledger. i have not used the ITC against liability to that extent . Whether i need to pay interest from the date of availment of itc till the date of itc reversal even if i have not utilised the same.? - Reply By YAGAY andSUN - The Reply = Section 50(3) of the Act provides that a taxable person who makes an undue or excess claim of the ITC under Section 42(10) shall pay an interest at the rate not exceeding 24% on such undue or excess claim. - Reply By Mahir S - The Reply = Yes.

If there is reduction in output tax liability as result of mismatching, then interest is payable otherwise not. In other words, if you have not utilised ITC taken, you are not required to pay interest. ITC reversed amounts to ITC not taken. - Reply By Mahir S - The Reply = If this had been the intention of the Govt, then section 50 and 42 of the Act would not have been formed at all. In this way, all will avail excess or wrong input credit and if detected, they will reverse saying they have only availed n not utilised. To overcome this scenario, interest clause at a very higher rate has been rightly inserted by the authority. - Reply By Alkesh Jani - The Reply .....

As on now no such communication facility is available. Return GSTR-2 and GSTR-3 are in abeyance, where facility to upload the invoice by recipient is not available and GSTR-2A is only to view. Therefore, Section 42(10) cannot be invoked in the present condition and therefore, Section 50(3) will also not applicable. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Dear Alkesh Jani Ji, You are absolutely right. As per Section 50 (3) interest is payable on two grounds and these are ; (i) ITC claimed is undue or excess. (ii) Undue or excess ITC claimed should be according to the parameters laid d .....

It is a fact that the functionality of matching inward supplies or output tax liability has not been activated on the Common Portal System till date. In the absence of this functionality, the department cannot ascertain undue or excess claim of ITC. In the instant case, the querist has availed ITC wrongly in April and on realising the mistake reversed the credit in June on his own. Thus the mistake has been rectified in June. Now as and when the functionality of matching inward supplies and output tax liability become operational on the Common Portal System, the ITC availed will be found matched as it s .....

Hence no question of payment of interest arises. - Reply By ARUNKUMAR THANGARAJ - The Reply = Hello Sir, Good Afternoon, This is Arun Kumar, Working in a pvt.company.
