TMI BlogDRC 01 for Ineligible CreditX X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... Hello Experts, ITC on Motor vehicle is not claimed in GSTR-3B . Department issued DRC-01 on the basis that ineligible credit is not shown in GSTR-3B nor in GSTR-9 . Is it valid to issue DRC-01 even for the ITC which is never claimed? Kindly provide guidance on above matter Thanks and Regards Raghav - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Sh.Raghav Sharma Ji, You have not claimed ITC in question but sometimes it happens that ineligible ITC is automatically reflected in GSTR 3B on the basis of GSTR-1 filed by the supplier. It is also used automatically, if not deleted from GSTR-3B . Pl. check your all GSTR 3B returns already filed. You are to examine every month and delete inadmissible ITC. It is your duty t .....

For the Year let s say total ITC is 100 as per GSTR-2A . We have claimed 80 as ITC and didn t claim the 20 because 20 is the ITC for motor vehicle. ITC is not claimed for Motor vehicle in any of GSTR-3B . My query is if we claim ITC on Net basis in GSTR-3B ( in this case we claimed 80), Can department issue notice for demand of 20 on this ground that you have not shown ITC as ineligible in the returns? Thanks - Reply By Sadanand Bulbule - The Reply = Dear querist Your apprehension is right. The department is conducting inquiry in such cases to get .....

On convincing , they have accepted the reality and dropped the proposals. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Sh.Raghav Sharma Ji, As advised by Sh.Sadanand Bulbule Sir, you should be able to convince the concerned Proper Officer with documentary evidence (books of accounts) to the effect that you have not availed and used ineligible ITC for Motor Vehicles and get the same decided in your favour. You are to prove that you have not caused revenue loss to Govt. You have said that you have availed only 80 % ITC and NOT 20% meant for Motor Vehicle ineligible IITC. Before meeting the Proper Officer, you must do your 'home work'. with full preparation and not half baked preparation and get well acquainted .....

Pl. do the following exercise :- (i) Whether the entry of ineligible ITC for Motor Vehicles was auto-populated ? (ii) If the answer is 'yes', was that entry deleted before filing GSTR 3B ? - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = In continuation of my above reply, pl.read 'reverse' in place of 'delete'. You are to reverse ineligible ITC under Table 4 against Serial No.B(2) -Others of GSTR 3B , if such entry has been auto populated. One of my clients is supplying restaurant services and he is not eligible for ITC. ITC is auto populated every month. . I reverse ineligible ITC under Table 4 against 'serial .....

How can one raise any demand u/s 73 / 74 upon the tax-payer just because ITC as per Form GSTR-2A was greater than ITC actually availed by the tax-payer (and differential amount was towards ineligible ITC). To my mind, this is pure harassment of the tax-payer .... nothing else. I guess some officers lacks elementary understanding of GST law, despite more than 6 years are passed. Having said that, the tax-payer got no option but to suffer and defend him .....

It is only a disclosure error. However, reason for the issue being that the State has lost revenue in this regard that it was eligible. Ideally CBIC to come up with a mechanism to identify these kind of credits and given due revenue to the respective States. THough now the new scheme of disclosure in the returns should take c .....

First my case was picked by the intelligence wing, then during ASMT-10 proceedings and finally Dept AG audit. In all the proceedings, I had given the total ITC available in GSTR-2A during that respective month and list of ITC availed by me in GSTR-3B , and also the fixed asset register where GST was capitalized along with motor car on which depreciation was claimed. The officers were convinced and no notice was issued in any proceedings. - Reply By PRABHU RAMANATHAN - The Reply = Hi Raghav, In my opinion, if you have not claimed that ITC even though reflected in the GSTR 2B , you must provide the bill .....

Mere not declaring in the necessary column of GSTR 3B or GSTR 9 does not misconstrue as you have claimed the ITC, provided you have properly treated the accounting entries in your books of accounts by capitalizing the ITC to the respective fixed asset. - DRC 01 for Ineligible Credit - Query Started By: - RAGHAV SHARMA Dated:- 11-12-2023 Last Replied Date:- 17-12-2023 Goods and Services Tax - GST - Got 9 Replies - GST - Discussion Forum - Knowledge Sharing, re .....
