If the supplier of goods or service is not paid within 180 days of the issue of the tax invoice, the recipient has to reverse the ITC availed and show it in the GSTR – 3B of the December 2017 to be filed by 20th January 2018. This provision is similar to the provision we had in the erstwhile Service Tax. Though it was there most of the taxpayers were not following it due to some reason or the other. In GST as reporting is online and data of GST returns is shared with various stakeholders it becomes mandatory in nature to follow this provision.
This means that the business has to maintain the creditors aging and basis on that they have to reverse the Input Tax Credit. In big organizations it will be very challenging as they have lot transactions and maintained from various locations. This process would be very easy if the accounting or ERP they are using supports the same. Though it looks like a complex process but it would be simple if the technology is used in the process.
The reversal of the ITC is based on the provisions given in Section 16 of the CGST Act
Provided further that where a recipient fails to pay to the supplier of goods or services or both, other than the supplies on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis, the amount towards the value of supply along with tax payable thereon within a period of one hundred and eighty days from the date of issue of invoice by the supplier, an amount equal to the input tax credit availed by the recipient shall be added to his output tax liability, along with interest thereon, in such manner as may be prescribed:
All the supplier invoices which are issued from 1st July 2017 to 3rd July 2017, if they are unpaid, ITC has to be reversed along with interest.
While filing GSTR – 3B the following options have to be selected at the time of filing for reversal of ITC on account of non-payment to the supplier of goods or services or both. 
The reversal of ITC should be reported in ITC Reversal of GSTR – 3B in “Others”
Interest should be reported in Interest of Table 5.1 in GSTR – 3B.
As and when the supplier is paid, ITC is eligible to be claimed, if paid partially then ITC is also eligible on the pro- rata basis and it can be claimed while filing the GSTR – 3B as and when it is filed.
The reversal and reclaim is on self-policing mechanism by the taxpayers and the same can be verified by the Government basis on the financial statements being filed by the taxpayer from time to time. It can be verified even during the GST Audit and if any mismatch is there the same can be reversed also.
Reversal of the ITC is not new in the Indirect Tax Regime in India, it is also implemented in other countries. In Malaysia also, it there but the only difference there is the supplier of the goods and services can apply for the refund of the taxes paid by him. In India also, we should have a similar process so that the supplier of goods and services will not be deprived of the cash flows.
This will also have an impact on the retention money which is held back by the recipient as per the contractual obligations. Such retention money will be paid back after an agreed period, even this is applicable to such cases also. The trade and industry have to re-visit their contracts and business process. This again clearly shows that GST is not a mere tax reform but a business process reform.

What is the difference between ITC Availed and ITC Claimed ?
Dear Sir,
An amount of 15360.00 was erroneously filled in under (A) ITC Available as Integrated Tax in the period of Year 2019-20 Month August which I attempted successfully to reverse by an amount of 12488.00 partially again erroneously in under (B) ITC Reversed as Integrated Tax in the period of Year 2019-20 Month October But when I still found an existing balance of 2872.00, I again attempted to reverse the same again but erroneously this time under D) Ineligible ITC as Integrated Tax in the period of Year 2019-20 Month December which just doubled up resulting in a balance of 5,744.00 as is evident from the ITC credit claimed and due statement attached herewith separately.
Now, in the month of March-2020, while attempting to reverse the above amount of 5,744.00 by filling in under (B) ITC Reversed as Integrated Tax and to post, I get the prompt of not having sufficient balance in cash/credit ledger and to create challan for the same amount instead.
Therefore, I feel that I may have attempted a wrong process above to effect the said reversal.
In view of above, I earnestly request you to please guide me to accomplish the said reversal satisfactorily in order for me to submit the GSTR3B for Mar-2020.
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Sir/Madam,
We are merchant exporters, we buy material from manufactures and export out side of India. My doubt was we purchased material from manufactures and exported and ITC taken. but for some reasons my manufacturer given 25% discount on purchase value. Already we had taken ITC on that particular purchase . so we have decided that we will pay/reverse the ITC/GST on excess amount taken on 25% discounted value. but how to reverse it? please advice?
1. reversal on GSTR-3B on next month?
2.raise the challan for excess amount taken on 25% discounted value? how to offset it.
Kindly reply
I have shown closing balance excess in TRANS 1 at CGST part.
is there any way to rectify it.
How to reverse only one component if taken in excess viz. – only CGST or Only SGST because on portal when we enter one component another is automatically there for an equal amount.
