Non-uploading of invoices by the supplier may result in mismatch between GSTR 2A and GSTR-1 / GSTR 3B . 80% loss(fear) is a sort of dis-incentive to the person availing credit so that all-out efforts should be made by the purchaser to force (nay, persuade) the supplier to upload the invoices issued by him (supplier). Thus matching has become an absolutely must in the interest of the tax payer. After all the burden of proof is cast upon the buyer(who intends to avail ITC) under Section 155 of CGST Act . - Reply By DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN - The Reply = What Sri Sethi says is absoluely correct. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - Th .....

This amendment requires a tax payer availing input tax credit to do GSTR 2A reconciliation on a monthly basis and intimate the supplier to upload/correct invoices in his GSTR-1 on monthly basis . This is a welcome step , though 80%credit is blocked if supplier does not upwards the invoice, it shows the total input tax credit available in his purchases. It might happen that tax layer claim major credits like GST on raw material, packing material etc.. but skip taking credit on telephone bills, repairing , air fare, cha Bill's etc. Now with the mandatory of reconciling 2A on monthly basis maximum input tax credit would emerge. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = I like .....

By Shyam Naik - The Reply = The quantification of restriction on availing input credit is with reference to amount of invoices uploaded by suppliers. For example, total input credit for a month is ₹ 120000/-. Input credit to the extent of ₹ 100000/- is reflected in GSTR-2A . The receipient can avail full credit, as ₹ 20000/- is within 20% of 100000/-(reflected in GSTR-2A ). In the above example, if only ₹ 15000/- is reflected in GSTR-2A , then the amount of eligible credit would be ₹ 18000/-{15000/-(As per GSTR-2A ) + ₹ 3000/-(being 20% of ₹ 15000/- or ₹ 105000/- which ever is lower.}. Loss of credit is ₹ 102000/-. Loss % is 85%(102000/120000*100). This provision shall not ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... stand test of legal scrutiny. Recipient can not be penalized for no fault on his part. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = I agree with the working of Sri Shyam Sir. Now, every company has to have a full time tax person whose job would be to call the supplier and persuade him to upload the invoice. And if he has uploaded but with incorrect details then ask him to correct the same. In such scenario, it is worth thinking of changing the GST clause in the agreement executed with the supplier. - Reply By Alkesh Jani - The Reply = Dear Experts, For sake of my knowledge, what if buyer avails 20% and later supplier files the return? what will be the scenario if supplier is filing return on quarterly basis and buyer is filing on mon .....

The section 16 nowhere even remotely indicates of any part of ITC . when no such expressed words is used, can this notification (however conditions and restriction can be of whole) empowers government for such ceiling of 20% ITC? Thanks in advance With Regards. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = Sri Alkesh Ji , your concern holds good. The Govt is haste is incorporating changes in the law, may be to increase the GST revenue. The govt is not getting the envisaged revenue. Lot of defaulters are evading tax.

It is Government's duty to enforce the supplier to file appropriate return. There are many cases in VAT matters, where ITC has been allowed in cases the supplier have not reported sales The legal provision to disallow ITC has been struck down by High Courts - Reply By Alkesh Jani - The Reply = Dear Experts, I wish to raise a query in addition to raise earlier (1) When GSTR-2 and GSTR-3 , filing date is yet to be notified ( Section 37 38 ), then on what ground filing of GSTR-2A (part of GSTR-2 ) and GSTR-3B (Part of GSTR-3 ) can be base for availment of ITC?

Thanks With Regards - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Dear Sh.Alkesh Jani Ji, Yes. You are right. 20 % capping will not yield any viable results. Actually ITC facility should be dispensed with, especially, keeping in view a large number of fraudulently availed modvat credit/cenvat credit/ITC cases detected by the Department during the period from 1986 to 2019 (till date).
