Sir,

If the department insists on reversal due to ineligible ITC availed, you are required to reverse it. But not required to pay interest since ITC is already with the department. You can apply for a refund for entries in the wrong col. subject to other conditions and restrictions.

 As per recent changes, Col. 4(B)(1) is for ITC not liable to reclaim.

Need further details on this. What is the period when this reversal was done.

Why was it to be done as a temporary reversal, goods not recieved or anything else?

What does the dept notice state?

Anyway note that the disclosure requirements are mentioned in a circular and not stipulated in the rules.

Dear Madam,

Already filled GSTR Annual return also, we are reversed the ITC permanently instead of temporarily reversed table. And same we reclaimed on subsequent months when it is realised in our books of accounts. So, GSTR department says after showing in table 4(b)(1), you can not reclaimed.Now what will be the penalty and the implications?

Sir, 

The Assessing Authority or the Adjudication Authority should have determined the liability to reversal of ITC to be reported in Table 4(B)(1) with the documents and books of accounts. Just because of entries in the wrong col., it cannot be treated as such. It is a human error and is liable to a refund. In respect of the actual liability to be reported in actual col. (but not reported because of wrong entries), the AA may demand the reversal of ITC  with applicable interest and penalty. However, as the amount has already been deposited, interest & penalty may not be payable.
